There's an outbreak of cyclosporiasis across the US, including over 80 cases in Missouri as of last week.

Some of the foods that been linked to outbreaks in the past are basil, bagged salads, lettuce mixes, cilantro, raspberries, sweet peas and several other. There are some reports of a possible food item or items but nothing definitive has been identified at this time.

If you or a family member start experiencing symptoms, contact your medical provider.

Thank you Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services for the PSA.
