Episode Details

Two new lawsuits hit Taco Bell and Taylor Farms as a massive cyclosporiasis outbreak sweeps nine states, with Michigan hardest hit. Nine Michigan residents are suing for illness linked to contaminated shredded lettuce from Taylor Farms’ Mexico facility — a recall that covers less than 1% of their U.S. supply. This follows an earlier $75K claim by a Michigan couple. Both companies face mounting legal pressure: Taylor Farms has a history of outbreaks, including a 2013 cyclosporiasis crisis and a recent E. coli scare; Taco Bell’s record dates back to 2006 and 2012. Plaintiffs allege negligence, claiming Taco Bell ignored red flags. Taylor Farms insists its safety protocols are top-tier. The FDA points to overwhelming evidence tying the lettuce to the outbreak — despite no parasite found in product tests — and warns this could be the largest U.S. outbreak in history.
