From tropical storm impacts to a false positive lettuce testing, Monday\u2019s Sacramento Bee covered stories affecting Californians across the region.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick digest:<\/p>\n

The FDA has reversed its finding that a Taylor Farms lettuce sample tested positive for cyclospora, calling the earlier result a \u201cfalse positive\u201d<\/a> due to detection complexity. More than 1,600 confirmed cyclospora cases have been reported nationally, with the primary outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell locations in Ohio and four other states.The Sacramento County District Attorney\u2019s Office declined to file charges<\/a> against the Tesla driver who struck and killed 22-year-old dance instructor Elinor Steffy<\/a>, citing insufficient evidence of criminal conduct and a medical condition experienced by the driver. Steffy\u2019s mother has filed a tort claim against Folsom seeking more than $4.5 million, alleging inadequate pedestrian protections at Iron Point Station caused the January crash. <\/p>\n
