NH restaurants take precautions as cyclospora outbreak continues
Key Points:
- New Hampshire health officials report no known connection between local cyclospora cases and the ongoing outbreak in other parts of the country, with six cases reported so far this year.
- The Common Man restaurant group, which operates 18 locations including the Airport Diner, is actively monitoring its vendors and maintaining confidence in the safety of its salads.
- Culinary director Nicole White emphasized the company's readiness to quickly respond to recalls through digital alerts, allowing for rapid communication and action.
- Health experts advise continued vigilance with food safety practices, such as washing produce thoroughly and sourcing from reputable suppliers, amid the outbreak elsewhere.
- Most of the lettuce used by Common Man is locally grown in the New England region, further supporting their food safety measures.
