PSA... Rewashing your prewashed bagged greens won't help. Cyclospora oocytes attach to leaf surfaces in a way that rinsing wont affect.
Best to buy heads of lettuce and remove the outer leaves.
Also cooking at 158°F or higher will kill it.
NEW: #cyclospora tainted lettuce shipped to #Walmart & Sysco, the U.S.’s largest food distributor & still being sent out up until Thursday July 16, 2026
Late on July 17, 2026 #TaylorFarms quietly posted an official recall notice
We now know that the parasite-linked iceberg lettuce was shipped to Walmart & food distributors in 27 (!) states

Two people in Michigan have died from the Cyclosporiasis outbreak.
The media is already leading with the fact that they had pre-existing conditions.
They’re pacifying the public.
Anyone could die from Cyclosporiasis, but they want you to believe it can’t happen to you.
It can only happen to the weak, the disabled, the elderly.
The expendable people.
Eugenics.
