Is it safe to eat spinach right now with the cyclospora outbreak?

I saw spinach on sale at Ralph’s. 3 for 6. I’m low on fiber & wanted eat it all week in my sandwiches. I mostly like to buy baby spinach from the simply organic brand.

This is what I read:

> To reduce the risk of getting sick from a salad, opt for whole heads of lettuce instead of pre-washed bagged lettuce or prepared salads. Discard the outer two or three layers of leaves and soak. Soaking produce in a solution of one part white vinegar to three parts tap water is even more effective.

> Cooking produce to an internal temperature of at least 70°C (158°F) is the most effective way to eliminate the risk posed by parasites.

I can't eat spinach due to the oxalates in it. My wife likes it cooked- for some strange reason.

I don't know they nailed down the cause. They thought lettuce and now aren't sure.

There's no telling anymore if you grow it yourself I would say yes but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

For now

[Sugar100]

That has no fiber

I was joking but I would be careful of eating any fruits and vegetables I mean it's hard enough when you wash a fruit or vegetable and you feel the outside of it and it's all like a big candle waxy that's all the pesticides it's time to grow your own garden I believe I know I started
