The CDC is investigating a common source tied to infections that began in May, while the FDA prepares to warn consumers about Taco Bell lettuce in affected areas. This isn’t the first time Taylor Farms has faced scrutiny—back in 2024, their Colorado Springs plant was linked to an E. coli outbreak tied to McDonald’s onions, resulting in one death and over 100 illnesses. Though Taco Bell has removed some ingredients as a precaution, officials haven’t officially tied the outbreak to the chain or any specific food. Symptoms include diarrhea and nausea, often from contaminated produce or water. Colorado, while not in the outbreak zone, has seen a spike in cases, mostly linked to travel, with El Paso County reporting unusually high numbers—possibly seasonal.
