Widespread food recalls flood shelves amid cyclospora and Salmonella outbreaks

A large wave of U.S. food recalls spans eggs, lettuce, soups, fruit pouches and plant-based products as officials warn of a cyclospora outbreak linked to bagged lettuce in Michigan and a separate Salmonella investigation tied to Chipotle jalapeños; Michigan reports thousands of cyclosporiasis cases and hospitalizations with a couple of deaths. Recalls include Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce, Midwest Poultry Services eggs, MorningStar Farms items, Amy’s Organic Soups, Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread, and a Costco recall of Jones Dairy Farm chicken sausage links. Consumers should discard recalled foods, thoroughly clean and sanitize storage areas, and consult the FDA’s recall list for current updates.

"Food Safety Experts Reveal the Worst Days to Buy Grocery Store Produce"

Food safety experts advise against buying pre-cut fruit and ready-to-eat cooked foods from the grocery store due to contamination risks and improper handling. Bagged lettuce is also a concern due to outbreaks and lack of traceability. Most deli counter items are avoided due to employees' lack of knowledge about food safety and potential hygiene issues. Cantaloupe is prone to causing foodborne illness and should be handled with caution. It is recommended to buy whole lettuce, choose packaged deli foods with proper labeling, and avoid cantaloupe served in restaurants.
