⚡ FDA Update on Cyclospora Outbreak
The FDA has recently revised its initial findings regarding the #Cyclospora parasite, clarifying that previous results indicating a link to #TaylorFarms were false positives. Experts are diligently reviewing sample results, and the FDA, along with other health agencies, is continuing its investigation to identify the true sources of the Cyclospora outbreak.
🥬 A Note of Appreciation
I want to express my gratitude to Taylor Farms and other businesses impacted by this situation for their swift actions in removing affected products and for their cooperation with federal health agencies. As investigations proceed, it’s important for us, as the general public, to take steps to protect ourselves.
🥕 Precautionary Measures
In light of the recent developments, here are some foods you might want to avoid for now:
Salad greens
Cilantro
Basil
Green Onions
Snow Peas
Here are some ways you can prevent the spread of Cyclospora in your household:
Wash your hands with soap and hot water before and after handling produce.
Wash and scrub all fresh fruits and vegetables with clean, running water.
Remove the outer layer of leaves or skin if possible. Run the inner leaves under running water.
Cut or peel off damaged areas of produce before eating.
Here are a couple of recommended sources to continue to stay informed during this time:
