There's an incredible amount of confusion among consumers.
To be clear, there are no public health officials or evidence to attest that domestic grown lettuce is linked to cyclospora.
Americans have been cutting back on their consumption and purchase of fresh produce and lettuce, but there's really no evidence suggests that produce should be cut out altogether.
It really does seem like American consumers have become more interested in farmers markets across the country.
Different operators I spoke to described an increase in foot traffic from folks who want to have a smaller sort of supply chain attached to the fresh produce that they're eating right now.
But when it comes to the larger industry of lettuce, farmers markets represent a very small portion of farmers.
And so most of the industry sells to farmers.
grocery stores, restaurants, food distributors, the kind of scale that they'd be able to sell at a farmer's market just wouldn't be able to make up for those losses from decrease in demand.
Thanks, Alex.
