Taco Bell Lettuce Linked to Outbreak | Savannah News

Taco Bell is under fire after federal health officials link a major cyclospora outbreak to lettuce from a single Mexican supplier tied to Taylor Fresh Foods — affecting locations in five states. The parasite causes severe diarrhea, and while Taco Bell has halted use of the tainted lettuce, the investigation continues to see if other brands may be involved. Though not tied to restaurant handling, the outbreak has shaken consumer trust, with Taylor Farms voluntarily pulling all central Mexico iceberg lettuce from U.S. markets. Experts note rising cases tied to climate change and better detection — often requiring hospitalization, with dozens already hospitalized across multiple states.
