Mixed messages from health officials and social media speculation have resulted in consumers avoiding lettuce, and restaurants paying the price.

The FDA backpedaled on a positive Cyclospora test result, but the agency says iceberg lettuce remains a suspect.

The FDA and CDC have not yet determined for sure the source of the Cyclospora outbreak. It’s also not clear yet whether the rate of new Cyclosporiasis cases has slowed.

The response to the outbreak has been going pretty well. The public messaging, not so much.

Can we trust anything the Trump administration says on cyclospora?
