Summary
A major cyclosporiasis outbreak is sweeping the U.S., with over 1,600 confirmed cases tied to shredded iceberg lettuce from a Mexican supplier linked to Taylor Farms. The illness, causing severe stomach issues, is primarily connected to Taco Bell locations in the Midwest, though California’s cases are down. The parasite spreads through contaminated food handled by infected individuals with poor hygiene. Taylor Farms insists the FDA points to a small, separate farm—not their own—and assures no other products are affected. They’re recalling the tainted lettuce and vow to rebuild trust as they cooperate with regulators. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
