Why this matters in The El Paso
El Paso residents who shop at local grocery stores or dine at restaurants that serve salads should remain vigilant about the ongoing cyclospora outbreak. Although Taylor Farms, the supplier at the center of the investigation, has a voluntary recall in place, the company's products are widely distributed and may still be present in the community. The fact that Taco Bell has removed affected lettuce from its restaurants in five states suggests that the outbreak has already had an impact on local food establishments. As the FDA continues its investigation, El Pasoans should check the recall notice and avoid any products that may be contaminated. The city's health department should also be prepared to respond to any potential cases of cyclospora, which can cause severe diarrhea and other symptoms. By staying informed and taking precautions, El Paso residents can help protect themselves and their families from this outbreak.
