Iceberg Lettuce Recall Sparks Outbreak Alert | Sacramento News
Description
Taylor Farms is pulling all iceberg lettuce from central Mexico after it was linked to a major cyclosporiasis outbreak affecting over 1,600 people across 34 states — with Taco Bell already removing the lettuce from its menus nationwide. The FDA points to one small farm as the likely source, but Taylor Farms is taking a broad precaution. No deaths have been reported, but the outbreak has already slowed Taco Bell’s sales and foot traffic. Cyclosporiasis, a parasite-triggered illness causing severe diarrhea, often spikes in warmer months — and this latest outbreak underscores the risks of bagged salads. Taylor Farms says it’s committed to supporting the investigation and rebuilding consumer trust.
