Farmers Market Produce Considered Safer Amid Cyclospora Outbreak, Experts Say
Amid a nationwide surge in Cyclospora cases, experts suggest that produce from farmers markets may be a safer option due to local sourcing. The outbreak, linked to contaminated produce, has raised concerns about food safety. While washing produce is recommended, it may not completely eliminate the risk of Cyclospora. Cooking fruits and vegetables is advised as the only foolproof method to kill the parasite. The CDC has confirmed over 1,645 cases nationwide, with several states reporting significant numbers.
