Summary
New Hampshire restaurants are stepping up food-safety precautions while officials monitor a cyclospora outbreak elsewhere in the U.S., even though the state has found no link between its cases and the Midwest cluster.
Six cases have been reported in New Hampshire so far this year, and health officials said that remains below the state's usual annual total of fewer than 10 while tracing where infections began can take time.
The Common Man, which operates 18 locations statewide, said it is in close contact with vendors and can quickly pull products if a recall notice arrives digitally, sometimes multiple times a day.
Doctors urged consumers to keep washing produce at home and buy from reputable sources as restaurants review supply chains; Common Man said most of its lettuce comes from New England growers.
