Shredded Lettuce Linked to Nationwide Outbreak | Denver News

Shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms may be behind a massive nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak, with over 1,600 confirmed cases since May — including more than 100 in Colorado. Though the company’s Colorado Springs facility hasn’t been directly tied to the outbreak, it’s a major distribution hub and previously cited by the FDA for E. coli-linked violations. Symptoms include debilitating diarrhea and cramps, but thankfully, hospitalizations and deaths remain rare. Taco Bell is among the chains affected, and experts suspect contamination happened during harvesting or storage. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
