Cyclospora Outbreak: Our Commitment to Food Safety

Food Safety Is Not A One-Time Initiative - It's An Ongoing Commitment. We Continuously Evaluate Our Ingredients, Suppliers, Processes, And Procedures To Ensure We Are Providing Our Customers With Meals That Meet The Highest Standards Of Quality And Safety.

 Cyclospora Update: What Is Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating Doing to Keep Meals Safe?

The health and safety of our customers is our highest priority. We understand the concerns surrounding the current Cyclospora outbreak and want to share the steps we take to help ensure the safety of every meal we prepare.

What precautions are you taking?

  • Carefully sourced produce: We purchase produce only from approved suppliers with comprehensive food safety programs. None of our growers, processors, or suppliers have been identified by the FDA or CDC as a possible source of the current Cyclospora outbreak.
  • No Taylor Farms products: We do not source produce from Taylor Farms.
  • Cooked ingredients: The majority of the vegetables and herbs used in our meals are fully cooked. Our ingredients are cooked to validated temperatures and rapidly cooled using FDA-compliant food safety procedures.
  • Safer ingredient selection: We do not use fresh herbs or fresh berries. Instead, we use IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) herbs and berries that are high-pressure washed before freezing.
  • Enhanced produce washing: Fresh fruits are washed using an acid-based produce sanitizer before they are cut and packaged.
  • Carefully selected salad greens: Our salad greens are sourced from an approved supplier that has not been associated with the current outbreak.
  • Ongoing monitoring: We continuously monitor FDA and CDC guidance and remain in close communication with our suppliers to verify sourcing and traceability information.
