Food Safety This Summer | Detroit News

This summer’s foodborne illness spike is alarming—with over a thousand cases tied to Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and the sneaky Cyclospora, found in everything from jalapeños and eggs to cantaloupe and powdered greens. Iceberg lettuce is a major culprit, but delays in identifying sources mean contaminated food stays on shelves longer than it should. Don’t panic—just heed recalls, toss recalled items, and follow simple safety steps: wash hands, scrub produce, keep raw meats separate, sanitize surfaces, and cook thoroughly. Fresh food is still essential—just handle it smartly to stay safe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
