What you should do
Important

- Wash items and surfaces that may have touched the recalled lettuce using hot soapy water or a dishwasher.
- Consumers, restaurants, and retailers who purchased or received recalled iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico or distributed by Taylor Fresh Foods should discard it immediately and not consume it.
- Don’t eat recalled lettuce at any Taco Bell location or other restaurants. If you don’t know the source of the iceberg lettuce, ask the restaurant.
Contact your healthcare provider if you have symptoms of Cyclospora
- Primary symptoms of cyclosporiasis include watery diarrhea, fatigue, and loss of appetite.
- You may need to specifically request testing for Cyclospora. Routine stool tests don’t always screen for this parasite.
- Symptoms usually begin about one week after becoming infected (ranging from 2 days to 2 weeks or more).
- Without treatment, symptoms can last anywhere from a few days to a month or longer.
- If you have symptoms, stay well-hydrated.
Provide information to help us identify the contaminated foods
- If you are sick with cyclosporiasis, local or state health officials may contact you to find out what you ate in the two weeks before you got sick.
Take steps to reduce your risk of getting sick from Cyclospora
- Wash your hands and any fresh produce thoroughly under running water before eating, cutting, or cooking.
- Cooking can kill the parasite. Since washing alone cannot guarantee Cyclospora removal, cook produce to a temperature of at least 158 °F (70°C).
- Learn which foods are more likely to contain the parasite Cyclospora and ways to prevent getting cyclosporiasis.
- Stay up to date on food recalls and outbreaks.
What healthcare providers can do
- Report cyclosporiasis cases to your local health department.
- For more information about clinical features of cyclosporiasis and patient management, see Clinical Care of Cyclosporiasis.
