Shredded Lettuce Linked to Nationwide Outbreak | Venice Beach News

Shredded iceberg lettuce from California’s Taylor Farms may be behind a massive cyclosporiasis outbreak hitting thousands across the U.S., with Taco Bell locations in several states linked to the illness. CDC investigators are zeroing in on the supply chain after finding a strong correlation between sick customers and Taco Bell meals — especially those containing contaminated lettuce. Symptoms include severe diarrhea, nausea, and cramps, with a major hotspot in southeastern Michigan. In response, Taco Bell is voluntarily removing lettuce, pico de gallo, and guacamole from menus as a precaution. This isn’t Taylor Farms’ first rodeo — their onions were tied to an E. coli outbreak at McDonald’s earlier this year. Authorities are still analyzing cases to confirm the full scope.
