Cyclospora Outbreak Linked to Taco Bell Lettuce | Annapolis News

Taco Bell is under fire as federal health officials warn over a major Cyclospora outbreak tied to shredded iceberg lettuce at specific locations in five states — with over 1,600 people sickened and 94 hospitalized. The CDC confirms the contamination stems from a single Mexican supplier, and stresses this only affects Taco Bell’s supply chain — not grocery store lettuce. Symptoms include watery diarrhea, cramping, and fatigue, and doctors must be specifically asked to test for the parasite. The FDA is now tracing if other outlets received the tainted product. If you’re experiencing symptoms, seek medical care and stay hydrated — this outbreak underscores how fast foodborne illness can spread and why vigilance matters.
