## Resource

Taco Bell’s shredded lettuce from a single Mexican supplier is now the epicenter of a massive cyclospora outbreak affecting over 30 states — with Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia urgently warned to avoid it. The FDA has linked the contamination to Taylor Fresh Foods’ affiliated farm, prompting Taco Bell to immediately pull the product nationwide and replace it within 24 hours. While cyclospora typically causes mild diarrhea and isn’t usually deadly, hospitalizations have occurred, and experts say rising cases may stem from climate change and improved detection. Though no restaurant handling is suspected, consumers are advised to stick to whole lettuce heads for now — and Taylor Farms has already recalled iceberg lettuce from central Mexico, acknowledging past outbreaks and pledging to rebuild public trust.
