Cyclospora Outbreak Deepens Salad-Chain Slump After Official Control Claim

A multistate Cyclospora outbreak tied to iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico has intensified after officials claimed it was under control, with CDC/FDA tallies showing about 6,358 illnesses across 15 states (278 hospitalizations, 2 deaths) and FDA estimates exceeding 10,000 sickened nationwide. The outbreak has crushed restaurant sales, with Salad and Go filing for Chapter 11, Sweetgreen cutting full-year guidance, and chains like Chopt and Chipotle facing sales pressure, while some non-iceberg-lettuce chains also feel fallout as consumer trust in the produce aisle remains fragile.

Chipotle stock climbs after beating estimates, clarifies it isn’t involved in cyclospora outbreak

Chipotle Mexican Grill topped Q2 expectations with 2.2% same-store sales, $3.35 billion in revenue, and adjusted earnings of $0.33 per share, driven by menu innovations (Honey Chicken, Cilantro Lime Sauce), marketing, a loyalty program and increased transactions. Catering and build-your-own orders now account for about 2–3% of sales, with a national rollout planned for 2027. The company lifted its full-year guidance to low-single-digit same-store sales growth and projected mid-2% price increases in Q3 due to beef and freight costs offset by lower avocado/dairy costs. Chipotle emphasized it is not involved in the cyclospora outbreak, noting its lettuces are California-sourced, and cited AI and catering expansions as growth catalysts alongside plans to open 350–370 new restaurants in 2026.
