Bagged lettuce is out, berries are getting the side-eye. We asked 6 health experts what they're eating - and avoiding - during the cyclosporiasis outbreak.

Key Points:

• A widespread cyclosporiasis outbreak linked mainly to contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce has sickened thousands across 47 states and caused two deaths, leading 40% of people to reduce produce consumption amid safety concerns.
• Experts recommend avoiding pre-cut, bagged lettuce and opting for whole heads of lettuce washed thoroughly at home, while some are avoiding leafy greens for vulnerable individuals like the elderly.
• Fresh herbs such as parsley and cilantro are advised to be temporarily avoided or cooked to kill the parasite, and berries with rough surfaces like raspberries and blackberries are being consumed less due to past outbreak associations, despite no current links.
• Safe produce choices include fruits with rinds or peelable skins, smooth-skinned fruits and vegetables, and frozen produce, which have not been linked to cyclosporiasis; thorough washing and scrubbing are recommended.
• Experts emphasize maintaining perspective on the risk, encouraging continued consumption of fresh produce with precautions, as the outbreak affects a very small fraction of the population and the benefits of fruits and vegetables outweigh the risks.
