Iceberg Lettuce Linked to U.S. Cyclosporiasis Outbreak | Sacramento News

A major cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce from a single Mexican farm is sickening over 1,600 people across the U.S., with nearly 100 hospitalized—though no deaths have been reported. The lettuce, found in Taco Bell locations in the Midwest and Appalachia, has prompted the FDA to issue a warning and led Taylor Farms to pull all central Mexico-sourced iceberg lettuce from shelves, despite it representing less than 1% of their business. Their branded salad kits are unaffected since they don’t contain iceberg lettuce. The company is deeply concerned about public trust and is fully cooperating with the investigation. California, which sees a few cases annually from travel, is monitoring closely but isn’t currently experiencing the outbreak.
