Lettuce Prices Crash 16% as Cyclospora Outbreak Drives Record Demand Collapse

Lettuce prices fell 16.4% in July, the largest monthly drop on record, as consumers avoided the vegetable due to a multistate cyclospora outbreak. The FDA linked the illness to iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms in Mexico, which has since been recalled. While prices are now down, they remain 7.5% higher than a year ago due to prior cost spikes from fertilizer and labor issues. Restaurant chains like Chipotle and Sweetgreen reported sales declines, though some see recovery. Experts note that while the immediate risk is lower, vigilance remains necessary as new clusters are investigated.
