Episode Details

Taco Bell’s pulling shredded iceberg lettuce nationwide after a Cyclospora outbreak hits five states—Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia. The fast-food giant is acting fast, removing the ingredient from menus while replacement lettuce rolls back in within 24 hours. This parasite causes nasty stomach issues like diarrhea and cramps, especially in hot weather, and doesn’t spread person-to-person. Over 1,600 cases have been reported, though experts suspect the real number’s much higher. The FDA and CDC are working with suppliers to track down any lingering contaminated lettuce, and Taco Bell’s stressing that everyone—from restaurants to regulators—must play a role in keeping folks safe.
