Taco Bell Lettuce Outbreak Linked to Cyclospora | Little Rock News

Taco Bell is under fire after a major cyclospora outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce from Mexico, sickening hundreds across 30+ states. The CDC warns residents in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia to avoid the lettuce, which officials trace to a single supplier—likely Taylor Farms, though not officially named. Taco Bell has already halted use of the lettuce from that source. Cyclospora, a parasite causing severe diarrhea, thrives in warm weather and spreads via contaminated produce or water. While improved detection and climate change may explain the surge, Taylor Farms’ history of outbreaks adds urgency. The FDA is still investigating whether more contaminated lettuce is in circulation—and whether other restaurants or brands could be involved.
