My Turn: Do you like lettuce? Better shop local!
['Dr. David Gottsegen', 'Peggy Huang']
Greenfield Recorder
Most cases have been traced to iceberg lettuce imported from Mexico by Taylor Farms, a huge food product company that supplies many supermarkets, and fast-food restaurants like Taco Bell, Chipotle, and McDonalds.
Typically, cyclosporiasis outbreaks have been traced to less developed countries, mostly in central and South America.
the billionaire CEO of Taylor Farms made a million-dollar contribution to MAGA, Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC.
Sarah Voiland, co-owner of Red Fire Farms, told me that they and other local farms have strict hygiene and handwashing training, including “parts of the hands usually missed.”
Local farms “treating farmworkers like human beings,” Hastings said, makes food safer for customers.
