Cyclosporiasis: Officials Look at Taco Bell Lettuce Supplier as Potential Source of Outbreak The cyclosporiasis outbreak sweeping across the US has put a spotlight on Taylor Farms, the supplier of iceberg lettuce to Taco Bell.
While officials continue to investigate the source of the parasitic illness that has hospitalized over 145 people and infected thousands more, it's clear that the food industry's opaque supply chains have once again put consumers at risk.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 1,645 lab confirmed cases, with many more suspected but yet to be confirmed.
