Michigan Lettuce Outbreak Forces Safety Changes | Lansing News

Michigan’s facing a major cyclosporiasis outbreak with over 3,000 cases, likely tied to contaminated lettuce and salad greens—though no specific grower has been identified yet. Health officials are urging everyone to wash produce thoroughly, opt for whole heads of lettuce, discard outer leaves, and cook greens when possible. Businesses are scrambling to respond: one restaurant switched to premium, pre-washed lettuce; a bakery pulled raw green onions; and a charcuterie shop paused operations out of caution. But not everyone’s scrambling—Grand Grillin’ in East Lansing already uses a triple-wash method and remains confident in their safety protocols. As the situation evolves, authorities are urging consumers and food businesses to stay vigilant and adapt quickly to protect public health.
