Taco Bell trims menu ingredients as Cyclospora outbreak widens

Cyclosporiasis has caused 1,645 confirmed cases across 34 states with more than 5,100 suspected cases under investigation; Michigan has been hit hardest with over 2,600 cases. Taco Bell has voluntarily and temporarily removed limited ingredients from select restaurants as a precaution, with officials stressing no confirmed link to the chain or any specific ingredient. FDA and CDC are conducting traceback investigations into produce items, focusing on lettuce/salad greens, though no single source has been identified yet.
