Lettuce recall pushes Georgia shoppers to local farms amid parasite outbreak

A Cyclospora parasite outbreak linked to recalled iceberg lettuce grown by Taylor Farms has spread to Georgia, according to the CDC. The outbreak has now reached 11,458 cases across 20 states, including Georgia, with 495 hospitalizations and two deaths reported nationwide. While federal officials say the recalled lettuce should already be off shelves, some Georgia shoppers are turning to local farms and farmers markets amid ongoing concerns.
