Taco Bell Investigated In Multistate Cyclosporiasis Outbreak, Report Says

Taco Bell is under investigation, according to a report, amid a multistate cyclosporiasis outbreak that has reportedly sickened thousands of people across the United States. Public health officials are reportedly examining whether lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants contributed to the gastrointestinal illness. The Washington Post reported Tuesday that federal and state health authorities are looking into the chain after Detroit-area locations posted signs saying they were “currently unable to sell” several produce items due to a nationwide recall. The specific produce grower or supplier has not been identified, and Taco Bell has not explained the signs or why executives believe the produce could be linked to cyclosporiasis. The story is described as developing and set to be updated.
