Summary
The iceberg lettuce was distributed to Taco Bell restaurants in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia, according to the CDC. CDC The company said it is "deeply concerned for those who became ill, their families, and the many Americans whose trust in the safety of their fresh produce has been shaken." "No other Taylor Fresh Foods products across the country are impacted," it continued. However, the CDC's tally lags behind state health departments, which have reported much larger numbers of cases.
Furthermore, Cyclospora cayetanensis is a unicellular parasite that causes an intestinal infection called cyclosporiasis. Outbreaks typically occur in the late spring and summer, and have historically been linked to bagged salads, cilantro, basil, raspberries, snow peas and green onions. The outbreak marks another instance where Taylor Farms' Mexican operations have been linked to a major foodborne illness, with the FDA and CDC actively investigating the current situation and collecting product samples for testing and analysis.
