Americanii au ajuns să evite restaurantele și salata verde din cauza focarului de ciclosporiază. Pătrunjelul, cel mai nou suspect

Americans are avoiding certain restaurants and lettuce due to a Cyclospora outbreak linked to contaminated food. The FDA has traced the outbreak to iceberg lettuce from Taco Bell, sourced from Taylor Farms in Mexico. Despite a product recall, cases continue to rise, raising concerns about other potential sources of infection. Health officials are investigating parsley and cilantro as possible culprits. Consumer traffic at affected restaurants has significantly decreased, with Taco Bell reporting a 20.8% drop. The outbreak has led to over 6,700 confirmed cases in the U.S., with many more suspected. Sales of fresh lettuce have also declined sharply, driven by consumer fears.
