Taco Bell Removes Lettuce After Cyclospora Outbreak

By TrendingWire Newsroom

Taco Bell has removed lettuce from its menu after the vegetable was linked to an outbreak of cyclosporiasis, a stomach illness caused by a parasite. The illness leads to severe diarrhea that can last for weeks. The fast-food chain announced the move as a precautionary measure, urging customers to 'live más.' The outbreak, which has affected multiple states, is under investigation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Cyclospora is typically spread through contaminated food or water. Symptoms include watery diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Taco Bell did not specify how many locations are involved, but said it is working with health authorities to ensure safety. Customers are advised to monitor for symptoms and seek medical help if needed. The company has not disclosed when lettuce might return to its menu. This is a developing situation, and further updates are expected from health officials.
