Sysco Halts Mexican Lettuce Amid Outbreak | Jersey News
Description
Sysco, America’s largest food distributor, has halted all iceberg lettuce imports from Mexico amid a massive cyclospora outbreak tied to Taylor Farms—now confirmed in 47 states. Over 10,000 cases, 500+ hospitalizations, and two deaths have been reported since May, with New Jersey hit hard. Symptoms include watery diarrhea and cramps lasting weeks; treatable with antibiotics. Meanwhile, a separate salmonella scare linked to jalapeños at places like Chipotle is under investigation. Restaurants and institutions in New Jersey may already be sourcing lettuce elsewhere—but if you’re sick, see a doctor.
