Part of situation: Taylor Farms Cyclospora outbreak declared over (55 clusters)

Cyclospora Outbreak Linked to Taco Bell Lettuce in US

cyclospora Taco Bell lettuce outbreak CDC

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants in five states – Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia – as a source of a multistate cyclospora outbreak. More than 1,600 laboratory‑confirmed cases have been reported, with 94 to 102 hospitalizations and no deaths. The CDC advises consumers not to eat the lettuce at participating Taco Bell locations while the investigation continues.

Michigan accounts for the largest share of cases, with over 4,300 reported infections and 102 hospitalizations. Ohio has reported 1,316 cases, and other states such as Alabama (11 cases), Wisconsin (43 cases) and Ohio’s Lucas County (278 cases) have also confirmed infections. The outbreak, first detected in May, has spread to at least 31 states.

Federal officials say the contaminated lettuce was supplied by a single Mexican farm, identified by the Food and Drug Administration as a supplier for Taylor Farms. While the lettuce is the confirmed source in the Taco Bell‑linked cluster, investigators continue to examine other fresh produce, including other leafy greens, herbs and berries, as possible vehicles. Experts note that washing produce reduces risk but may not eliminate cyclospora, and cooking can further lower exposure.

The CDC's food‑borne illness laboratory has faced staffing reductions, but the agency continues to coordinate with state health departments and the FDA to trace the contamination and mitigate further spread.
