Taco Bell pulls lettuce, cilantro, pico, and guacamole over parasite recall
Original headline: “Taco Bell temporarily removes some ingredients amid growing parasite outbreak”
Why this matters
A nationwide parasite outbreak has triggered recalls on fresh produce items, and Taco Bell has already pulled lettuce, cilantro-onion mix, pico de gallo, and guacamole from its locations as a result. This is not a Taco Bell-specific problem: the underlying recall affects the supply chain those ingredients came from, which means independent restaurants sourcing from the same distributors may be holding the same product right now. Parasite outbreaks move fast and the liability exposure from serving recalled produce is significant. If you have not checked your current produce invoices against recall notices, today is the day.
What to do
Pull your produce invoices from the last two weeks and cross-check every line item against the current FDA recall list before your next service.
