Many Americans have spent this summer afraid of eating fresh produce, especially lettuce, thanks to an outbreak of a parasite called Cyclospora. But here in Georgia, Cyclospora still doesn’t pose much of a threat. WUGA’s Havivah Saltz sat down with Dr. Francisco Diez, Director of the UGA Center for Food Safety, and a professor in the Department of Food Science and Technology, to discuss the parasite.
You can access the most recent federal findings on Cyclospora, including current case statistics and recalled foods, at cdc.gov and fda.gov.
