## Resource

Taco Bell’s shredded iceberg lettuce is at the center of a massive cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to a single supplier, Taylor Farms, with over 1,600 confirmed cases across five states. Symptoms include debilitating watery diarrhea that can linger for weeks, especially dangerous for vulnerable populations. The supplier has pulled all iceberg lettuce from central Mexico indefinitely, though no other Taco Bell products or salads are implicated. The CDC is also monitoring unrelated cases nationwide — a stark reminder to stay vigilant about food safety, even at fast food chains.
