Summary
Taco Bell is under federal investigation after a major cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce sickened hundreds across five states — with Michigan alone reporting over 5,000 cases. The CDC issued a warning, and while Taco Bell and supplier Taylor Farms are pulling the tainted lettuce nationwide, experts urge caution with all shredded iceberg lettuce in affected areas. No deaths have been reported, but the illness causes severe, prolonged diarrhea. The FDA points to a single Mexican supplier, and though not every Taco Bell location was impacted, public health officials recommend avoiding the lettuce entirely until more is known.
