Authorities are investigating the Mexican-based supplier, which also supplied Taco Bell locations in five affected states. Taco Bell has swiftly pulled the lettuce, replacing it nationwide within 24 hours and permanently removing it from its supply chain. The parasite spreads through contaminated food or water, so experts urge thorough washing and cooking of fresh produce. This isn’t Taylor Farms’ first food safety scare — last year’s E. coli outbreak tied to their onions forced McDonald’s to alter menus. As case numbers climb, especially in Michigan, the CDC and FDA race to trace the outbreak’s origin and prevent future outbreaks.
