## Resource

Cyclospora outbreak linked to Taco Bell’s iceberg lettuce in five U.S. states is causing major stomach issues, with Michigan hit hardest—over 5K cases, 102 hospitalizations. CDC investigates 34 other unrelated outbreaks, while Canada sees no local cases, thanks to short lettuce shelf life and strict import controls. Taylor Farms de Mexico voluntarily recalled affected lettuce from central Mexico; their pre-packaged salads are safe. Experts advise peeling or cooking produce, and rinsing helps. FDA’s still probing contamination sources—reminding us that food safety risks lurk at every step. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
