Lettuce scare hits hard: A food safety crisis centered on shredded iceberg lettuce has shaken Taco Bell and other salad chains, causing plummeting foot traffic as consumers stay away—even if their ingredients aren’t linked. The outbreak’s true scale remains murky, fueling unease. Compounding the issue, iceberg lettuce prices have soared 20% since January due to extreme heat in Arizona, which sped crop maturation, plus rising fuel costs making the cold chain more expensive. This isn’t the first lettuce-related outbreak—past E. coli scares loom as officials scramble to contain the current threat and protect public health.
