Sweetgreen isn't linked to cyclospora, but many customers still don't want salads: 'I didn't think it would last' this long, CEO says

Though Sweetgreen has not been linked to the cyclospora outbreak, the fast-casual chain has taken a hit as consumers steer clear of lettuce and fresh produce.

CBS News has learned that the Mexican lettuce farm connected to the outbreak of a nasty intestinal illness hasn't been inspected by American regulators in more than seven years. Food safety advocates blame budget and personnel cuts for a 29% drop in inspection rates of foreign farms over the past two years.
