## Resource

A nationwide spike in cyclosporiasis cases—caused by contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce from a small Mexican farm linked to Taco Bell—is sending shockwaves through the food industry. Over 1,600 confirmed cases, mostly in the Midwest, have health officials scrambling, while Taylor Farms pulls the affected lettuce and assures other products are safe. California remains calm, with cases below last year’s levels, thanks to robust safety protocols like the Leafy Green Marketing Agreement. Experts stress that evolving standards and vigilant audits are key to preventing future outbreaks—and keeping consumers safe.
