Analysis Summary
The FDA confirmed that iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms tested positive for Cyclospora, a parasite causing severe diarrhea. Taylor Farms voluntarily recalled all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico distributed across 27 states after federal health officials linked the produce to an outbreak sickening thousands, primarily in Michigan and neighboring states. The recall came after the CDC identified the contaminated lettuce at Taco Bell restaurants as the likely source. Shoppers across affected states are now scrutinizing produce origins as health officials investigate the extent of the outbreak and recovery of affected products continues.
