Taco Bell Lettuce Outbreak Hits 1200 | Toledo News

Taco Bell’s shredded iceberg lettuce is under fire after a major cyclosporiasis outbreak sickens thousands—nearly 1,200 in Ohio alone—with cases tripling and spreading to four other states. The FDA blames lettuce imported from Mexico, used at Taco Bell locations across Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia, and has issued a warning urging avoidance. Over 4,000 cases reported in Michigan, with hospitalizations rising. Taco Bell is voluntarily pulling the lettuce from its supply chain and replacing it fast, while the FDA ramps up border inspections. This isn’t the first time a supplier’s link to foodborne illness has caused a crisis—and more states may be added to the alert as the investigation continues.
