Taco Bell Lettuce Outbreak Hits 1600 | Sacramento News

Taco Bell’s shredded iceberg lettuce is at the center of a massive cyclosporiasis outbreak sickening over 1,600 people across five states, with 94 hospitalized — no deaths yet, but symptoms are brutal. The CDC points to a single Mexican supplier, possibly Taylor Farms, as the source, and Taco Bell is pulling the lettuce nationwide as a precaution. The FDA is ramping up border inspections and testing to stop any more contaminated batches from slipping through. While California’s cases are within normal seasonal ranges, officials are staying alert — this one’s not just about fast food, it’s about the entire food chain.
