Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Iceberg Lettuce Considered Safe As Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Investigation Continues
Caption: Iceberg Lettuce Considered Safe As Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Investigation Continues. US health officials say iceberg lettuce is generally safe to eat again as an investigation into this summer's cyclosporiasis outbreak continues. The US Food and Drug Administration says it is confident all recalled lettuce linked to the outbreak has been removed from shops and restaurants. Consumers therefore do not need to avoid iceberg lettuce, although officials say people should check they do not still have any recalled products at home and should continue following normal food safety precautions. The outbreak was linked to shredded iceberg lettuce eaten by people who reported visiting some Taco Bell restaurants. Investigators traced the lettuce to Taylor Farms and growers in Mexico. Experts say anyone who previously stored recalled lettuce should also thoroughly clean and sanitise containers and surfaces that may have come into contact with it.
