Sweetgreen trims 2026 outlook as cyclospora fears dent salad sales

Sweetgreen cut its 2026 outlook after consumer concern about fresh produce amid the cyclospora outbreak, forecasting same-store-sales to fall 7%–8% (versus prior 2%–4%) and adjusted EBITDA to -$23 million to -$27 million. Shares dropped over 15% after hours. The outbreak has not linked Sweetgreen to contaminated iceberg lettuce, though broader demand for fresh salads has weakened across the restaurant sector; Taco Bell is the only major chain linked to the outbreak. The company also reported a weaker-than-expected Q2 result and noted that the pace of recovery remains uncertain.
