Taco Bell Lettuce Outbreak Linked to Mexico | US News
Description
Mexico’s health and agriculture agencies are urgently investigating a U.S. foodborne illness outbreak tied to iceberg lettuce from central Mexico, now linked to Taco Bell sickening over 100 people across multiple states. A joint Mexican-U.S. team is tracing the lettuce’s origin, while suppliers Taylor Farms and distributor Sysco have pulled affected lettuce from Guanajuato facilities after FDA alerts. Though Mexico stresses pinpointing origin doesn’t confirm contamination there, this isn’t the first time Taylor Farms’ Mexican plants have been tied to cyclosporiasis outbreaks — a similar 2013 incident sickened 600+ people nationwide.
