Shredded Lettuce Linked to Major Outbreak | Savannah News

Federal health officials are locking in on shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms as the likely source of a massive cyclospora outbreak, with thousands already sickened. The FDA points to a specific facility in central Mexico—even though one test there was a false positive—while Taylor Farms has recalled all lettuce from that site, still found in stores and possibly in your fridge. Taco Bell is also under scrutiny after CDC warned about its shredded lettuce in several Midwestern states, which the chain has since pulled. Experts urge caution: avoid bagged lettuce and pre-made salads, instead washing whole heads thoroughly and discarding outer leaves. While Taylor Farms is the current focus, officials haven’t ruled out other sources—and everyone’s reminded to wash produce and cook food safely to prevent illness.
