Taco Bell removes lettuce from menus in five states after Cyclospora outbreak linked to Mexican supplier
Taco Bell removes lettuce from menus after cyclosporiasis outbreak sickens thousands in US
ContinuationUS cyclosporiasis outbreak surpasses 5,500 cases across 40 states; Michigan hardest hit
Taco Bell has removed lettuce from its menu in several states after an outbreak of explosive diarrhea was linked to contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified a single supplier in Mexico as the source of the contamination.
More than 1,600 cases of cyclosporiasis have been confirmed, with over 5,100 additional cases under investigation. The outbreak has affected customers in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia, with the potential for more states to be involved.
Taco Bell stated that it has voluntarily removed the potentially impacted lettuce from its supply chain nationwide and will replace it within 24 hours in select states. The fast-food chain emphasized that the decision was made out of an abundance of caution and that no official advisory has been issued.
The CDC warned customers not to consume shredded iceberg lettuce from Taco Bell locations in the affected states. The parasite, Cyclospora, causes wässrigen Durchfall with frequent, sometimes explosive bowel movements. It is typically transmitted through contaminated food or water, not from person to person.
Health officials in Michigan, which has seen the highest number of cases, have also pointed to lettuce as a common factor in the outbreak. Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, Michigan's chief medical executive, stated that early information has shown lettuce as a regular product in the investigation.
The outbreak has resulted in 94 hospitalizations, but no deaths have been reported so far. Cyclosporiasis outbreaks are more common in the summer months.
Taylor Farms, the supplier of the shredded lettuce, has been linked to the potential outbreak. The company describes itself as the leading global producer of salads and healthy fresh foods.
The CDC and FDA continue to investigate the outbreak, and customers are advised to stay informed about the latest developments.
