## Resource

Taco Bell is under fire after federal officials link a record-breaking cyclospora outbreak—spreading across 30+ states—to lettuce from a single California supplier, suspected to be Taylor Farms. The parasite, which causes severe diarrhea and thrives in warm weather, has already tied back to five states, with Taco Bell pulling the ingredient preemptively. Experts warn cases may have been underreported before, and climate change could be fueling the surge. The FDA is now racing to trace remaining contaminated batches as investigations continue.
