Lettuce supplier recall hits Taco Bell across multiple states
Original headline: “Taylor Farms lettuce supplied to Taco Bell linked to cyclosporia outbreak”
Why this matters
Taylor Farms lettuce supplied to Taco Bell has been linked to a cyclospora outbreak, prompting the chain to pull affected lettuce in select states. Cyclospora is a foodborne parasite that causes prolonged gastrointestinal illness and is notoriously hard to trace because symptoms appear one to two weeks after exposure. If you source romaine, shredded blends, or chopped lettuce from Taylor Farms, your supply may be affected even if your distributor has not called you yet. Health departments move slowly on produce recalls, and the liability window for operators who keep affected product on the line is real.
What to do
Pull your current lettuce invoices, confirm your supplier and lot numbers against the Taylor Farms recall list, and remove any matching product from service today.
