Key takeaway states that have been impacted by the outbreak of cyclosporiasis traced to iceberg lettuce from central Mexico.
Why this matters in The San Francisco
San Francisco residents who regularly consume salads with iceberg lettuce should be aware of the growing cyclosporiasis outbreak. With four more states now linked to the outbreak, the risk of contamination in the Bay Area increases. As the outbreak is traced to iceberg lettuce from central Mexico, local restaurants and grocery stores that import produce from this region may be affected. This could lead to a shortage of iceberg lettuce in San Francisco, or a shift towards sourcing from other regions. The city's health department will likely be monitoring the situation closely, and may issue guidance for consumers on how to minimize their risk of infection. San Francisco's diverse community, with its high demand for fresh produce, will be watching this situation closely, particularly in neighborhoods with a high concentration of restaurants and salad bars.
