You know how every summer has a theme.
So, in 2019, Megan Thee Stallion gave us Hot Girl Summer.
Well, unfortunately, this year... Hello and welcome to Planet Money.
Investigators are still trying to figure out where this came from.
A lot of the people who got sick apparently ate at Taco Bell.
And last week, the FDA announced that they traced the outbreak potentially to a bunch of shredded lettuce, lettuce from a company called Taylor Farms.
And now Taylor Farms is issuing a recall in 27 states for lettuce that could have been contaminated.
So we called up two people who were each intimately involved in those revolutions.
Jim Gorney helped write the very first FDA rules to prevent germs from spreading on fruit and vegetable farms.
Yeah, okay, potatoes are number one when it comes to fresh vegetables in the U.S., but the number two is actually lettuce.
It is wild how much lettuce we eat.
More than 25 pounds per person per year.
That's more than tomatoes, more than onions, carrots, bell peppers.
Today on the show, two revolutions.
The rise of big lettuce and the fight to make sure all our fresh vegetables are safe to eat.
So as public health officials have been trying to uncover the source of this cyclospora parasite, they're having to look into all the stops along the path of a head of lettuce.
From the restaurants and stores where it's served to the processing facilities where it's chopped and bagged and all the way back to the farms where it's grown.
And Joe Pazzini and his family of farmers were there for all of it.
Joe is a third generation farmer from the Salinas Valley.
Endive, escrow.
