Taco Bell faced a major health scare when Michigan’s state epidemiologist flagged a potential outbreak tied to its restaurants—even before any staff complaints emerged. Though the company initially downplayed the issue, signs of an ingredient recall appeared by July seventh, with full disclosure only on the 14th. The culprit? Cyclospora, a hard-to-trace parasite often found in leafy greens, which had sickened over 6,700 people across 45 states—with Michigan hardest hit, including two deaths. Federal authorities finally linked Taco Bell to the outbreak on July 17th, pointing to iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms, prompting a nationwide recall and removal of the ingredient from stores. While sales dipped initially, promotional deals like $1 burritos helped stabilize revenue. Symptoms include severe diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue—typically treated with fluids and antibiotics.
