Taco Bell Lettuce Recall Sparks Outbreak Concerns | Baltimore News

Taylor Farms is pulling all iceberg lettuce from central Mexico off shelves after it was linked to a massive cyclosporiasis outbreak affecting 34 states and thousands of people — with Taco Bell locations in five states identified as the source. Though the tainted lettuce wasn’t sold under Taylor Farms’ own brands, the company’s swift action and Taco Bell’s removal by July 17th aim to protect public health. Cyclosporiasis, a severe diarrheal illness, typically hits in warmer months and often stems from bagged salads or fresh produce — making this outbreak a stark reminder of how quickly foodborne threats can spread. The investigation is ongoing, with officials warning more locations or products could be implicated. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
