Iceberg lettuce eyed as possible source in cyclosporiasis outbreak tied to Taylor Farms

FDA investigators are examining iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms as a possible source of a cyclosporiasis outbreak that has sickened nearly 7,000 people in four states, with Michigan most affected. The parasite can incubate for up to two weeks, and Taco Bell has voluntarily removed limited ingredients as a precaution; Taylor Farms has been linked to past outbreaks, including a 2013 salad mix illness and a 2024 E. coli incident tied to onions.
