- Taco Bell Lettuce Blamed for Cyclospora
- Parasite Outbreak Linked to Fast Food
The CDC confirms Taco Bell’s iceberg lettuce caused cyclospora infections in five U.S. states. The FDA describes cyclospora as a microscopic parasite. Investigations are underway after this multistate foodborne illness outbreak was traced to the contaminated produce served at the fast-food chain. A recall has been initiated for the affected lettuce.
