Lettuce Safety After Cyclosporiasis Recall | Oklahoma City News

Lettuce may be safe again — but don’t relax yet. That big cyclosporiasis scare this summer, which sent Taylor Farms de Mexico’s iceberg lettuce flying off shelves in July, is mostly behind us. Cases peaked early July, then dropped sharply — just four new ones by August, bringing the total to 565 since March 7. The recall was specific to that one supplier, not all lettuce, and experts say those products are likely long gone. Cyclospora doesn’t linger on produce long — usually just weeks — and spoiled lettuce isn’t appetizing anyway. Media pressure also helped speed up responses. But some caution remains: without a confirmed source, it’s hard to say for sure everything’s clean — especially for kids and older adults. Stay vigilant, stay informed. The food system’s under scrutiny, and while that helps fast action, trust doesn’t come overnight. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
