Where it stands
Taylor Farms is pulling specific iceberg lettuce supplies after the FDA identified the product as a potential source for a cyclosporiasis outbreak. Taco Bell has responded by removing the implicated lettuce from its inventory at affected locations.
Coverage from ABC7 Chicago, KTLA, People.com, and Forbes emphasizes the connection between the central Mexico-sourced produce and the reported illness. While WMUR notes general information regarding foodborne germs, current reporting focuses on the logistical removal of the specific product line.
It remains to be seen if additional supply chains are affected by the pull. Coverage does not yet specify the total number of impacted regions or the duration of the current removal effort.
