If you believe the CDC, cyclospora is linked to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms. But Michiganders are having the worst outbreak and local public health officials there aren’t certain exactly where it’s coming from.

 

We’re avoiding all Taylor Farms products. I rarely buy bagged salads anyway.

 

Cyclospora outbreak spreads to 6 more states:

Cyclospora Busting Blender Gazpacho (cold soup):

Roasted onion, garlic & green peppers, canned chilis & canned tomatoes. I also added one scrubbed & peeled hothouse cucumber, chopped & seeded. It’s a refreshing substitute for summer salad.

I stopped buying bagged salads after finding one roo many bugs and other foreign objects. It really doesn’t take all that long to tear or cut and wash the lettuce myself…
