Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Linked to Taco Bell Lettuce | Raleigh News

A major cyclosporiasis outbreak is sweeping across five states, with over 1,600 confirmed cases linked to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taco Bell — traced to a recall from Taylor Farms de Mexico. CDC reports exceed 4,000 cases, but state data suggests even higher numbers due to reporting delays and underreporting of mild symptoms. While Taco Bell remains a focal point, experts warn other sources may be involved, as states like New York and Texas report cases without a known origin. Tracing the parasite’s spread is complex and time-consuming, underscoring the ongoing challenge of identifying foodborne illness sources in widespread outbreaks.
