Cyclospora Outbreak Expands: How To Order Food Safely In NJ

A multistate Cyclospora outbreak tied to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Fresh Foods has reached New Jersey, with 56 confirmed cases in the state since May 1 and a national case count far higher than this time last year. If you’re eating out, you can ask whether menu items contain raw shredded lettuce, swap in cooked vegetables, and keep an eye on recall updates from public health agencies. Taco Bell pulled the lettuce voluntarily, while chains including Chipotle, Wendy’s, and Jack in the Box say their supply was either unaffected or already removed.
