Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Linked to Taco Bell Lettuce | Raleigh News

A major cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms is sending shockwaves across five states, with over 1,600 people sickened and nearly 100 hospitalized — many after eating at Taco Bell, though others may have gotten it elsewhere. The CDC is urging caution in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia, while the FDA investigates potential wider contamination, including possible links to other restaurants. Taco Bell has pulled the lettuce nationwide and severed ties with the supplier, as border inspections ramp up. With cases also rising in North Carolina and Illinois, this outbreak highlights the fragility of our food system — especially as health departments face budget cuts and mounting pressure.
