Cyclospora Outbreak Linked to Taco Bell Lettuce | Augusta Georgia News

Taco Bell is under fire after a massive cyclospora outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce in five states, with thousands sickened across 30+ states. Health officials point to a single Mexican supplier, though it hasn’t been named, and both Taco Bell and the supplier are pulling the product. While experts say grocery prices won’t take a major hit, uncertainty could cause short-term dips in demand—especially for lettuce—and even trigger panic buying or avoidance of similar produce. Michigan leads with over 5,000 cases, and the CDC urges thorough produce washing, though it won’t eliminate the parasite.
