The recent outbreak of cyclosporiasis has sickened roughly 4,000 people and hospitalized about a hundred patients. It's news that made some people worried sick about their food safety. Denise Gustafsson says she tries to be as careful as she can with her produce. Making sure everything is washed.
How people in 34 states got sick with cyclosporiasis was a mystery until now. A source familiar with the FDA investigation has identified a single supplier of iceberg lettuce from Mexico, Taylor Farms, and was used by Taco Bell locations in five states.
Dr. Chin Hong says humans carry the parasite, which eventually ends up in feces. Typically, California sees about 40 cases a year. Symptoms could take weeks to surface.
Taco Bell has released a statement saying the company has voluntarily removed potentially impacted lettuce from a supplier in select states. Taylor Farms has not responded to our request for comment. The company is based in Salinas but has 30 regional processing facilities throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
"People should not panic," he said. "You definitely should eat fruits and vegetables. That's one of the healthiest things we can do for our diet. It's the peak time for fruits right now so please enjoy them and enjoy them safely."
"I'm just extra careful," Gustafsson said. "That's all you really can do. Unless you're simply not going to buy them. I just wash them."
