The Democrat just before the elections promised a "lettuce law". What is it about?
In mid-September, the CDC announced the end of a major cyclospora outbreak affecting over 12,000 people in the U.S., linked to lettuce from Mexico served at Taco Bell. Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed proposed the "Shit*y Lettuce Elimination Act" to prioritize food safety. He emphasized the need for better FDA oversight, as washing lettuce does not eliminate cyclospora. El-Sayed advocates for universal healthcare and received support from Bruce Springsteen. He faces Republican Mike Rogers in the upcoming election, with his chances diminished after losing support from fellow Democrat Haley Stevens, who endorsed Rogers instead.
