Taco Bell Lettuce Linked to Parasite Outbreak | Cincinnati News
Description
FDA’s on the case after a major parasitic outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce from a Mexican supplier, sickening hundreds across five states — with over 1,600 Taco Bell patrons reporting illness and 94 hospitalized. The parasite, cyclosporiasis, causes severe, prolonged diarrhea. Taco Bell has removed the lettuce nationwide and cut ties with the supplier. CDC urges caution with shredded lettuce at affected locations while FDA ramps up border screenings. More details are expected as the investigation continues — and other outbreaks are also under review.
