Lettuce distributed to Taco Bell locations in five states has been confirmed as the source of a cyclospora outbreak. Cyclospora causes severe diarrhea and is a parasitic illness. Authorities have identified the contaminated produce and are investigating the source.
Multi-state outbreaks traced to a single distributor suggest the contamination happened at the supplier level, not at individual restaurants. Five states means this wasn't a local produce supplier issue. The source of the parasitic contamination—whether it's the farm, a washing facility, or somewhere in distribution—is still under investigation, but the lettuce itself has been identified as the vehicle.
