Taco Bell temporarily removes fresh toppings as parasite outbreak spreads

Taco Bell locations nationwide are pulling lettuce, cilantro/onion, pico de gallo and guacamole amid a surge in cyclosporiasis (Cyclospora) cases across multiple states; officials say the source of the outbreak hasn’t been identified and it’s unclear whether customers have fallen ill, but signs indicate a temporary recall of certain produce as health departments investigate and advise thorough washing and safe handling of fresh produce.
