Is it safe to eat lettuce yet? What to know as cyclosporiasis outbreak lingers

Yes — current store-bought iceberg lettuce is generally safe: the FDA says the recalled lettuce tied to the outbreak has been removed from stores and restaurants.
The outbreak linked to Taylor Farms iceberg from Mexico sickened about 11,000 people across 20 states (nearly 500 hospitalized, 2 deaths), but most reported cases stem from earlier exposures and appear to be declining.
If you’re cautious, check recalls, wash produce and surfaces, or opt for cooked or peelable fruits — officials expect the outbreak could be declared over in a few weeks.
