What you should do

Check to see if you have the recalled products in your home. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.

Food contaminated with Cyclospora may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick.

Some people do not get sick at all, while others suffer from a severe upset stomach. Few people get seriously ill.
