## Resource

Taco Bell is pulling contaminated iceberg lettuce from its menus after federal officials tie a widespread cyclospora outbreak to a single supplier, Taylor Farms — the same company linked to past E. coli scares at McDonald’s and Wendy’s. This latest crisis echoes historic food safety failures, from Chipotle’s 2015 E. coli outbreak to Jack in the Box’s 90s disaster, underscoring how fragile the food supply chain remains — and why vigilance is non-negotiable for chains serving millions.
