🥬 Before you toss your salad (literally), here's what you need to know.

As cyclospora cases climb across 9 states, experts say there's no need to cut all fruits and veggies from your plate. The real risk is tied to specific products under investigation, not produce as a whole.

Registered dietitian Monique Richard says fear around outbreaks tends to make people overcorrect, cutting out way more than necessary. Her advice: "don't let one contaminated product keep you from eating an entire food group. Stay on top of recalls, skip the specific items flagged by health officials, and keep eating a variety of produce."
