Lettuce Crisis Hits Restaurants and Prices | Raleigh News
Description
A lettuce-led crisis is shaking up the food industry as a major outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce hits chains like Taco Bell, causing a 21% drop in foot traffic. Experts reveal the outbreak may be wider than initially thought, while salad spots like Sweetgreen see declines despite denying any connection. Farmers are also reeling from a 20% price spike due to early-season heat and supply shortages, compounded by soaring fuel costs that make keeping lettuce chilled from farm to table even more expensive.
