Summary
Community Co-Op Market in Tallahassee says customer questions about cyclospora remain frequent even after officials said the outbreak is under control.
Produce manager Hope Galvin advised shoppers to choose whole-head lettuce, wash greens every time, and scrub other produce to reduce risk.
Galvin said mixed messaging about the outbreak’s source has left grocers and customers unsure where contaminated produce may have originated.
Local produce and hydroponic lettuce can offer more peace of mind, she said, while urging shoppers to ask stores about their suppliers.
