Cyclospora Outbreak Linked to Taco Bell | Health and Fitness News
Description
A major cyclosporiasis outbreak is sweeping across the U.S., with over 1600 confirmed cases nationwide — and Michigan alone reporting more than 5,000. The CDC points to shredded lettuce from Taco Bell as a likely source, though the investigation is far from over, with 34 other states reporting separate cases. The parasite causes debilitating, weeks-long diarrhea and requires prompt treatment. While Taco Bell and supplier Taylor Farms have pulled the suspect lettuce and removed iceberg lettuce from affected regions, experts warn other contaminated produce — like raspberries or cilantro — could still be out there. Stay vigilant: even with recalls in place, food safety remains a top concern until all sources are identified.
