Taco Bell removes ingredients amid parasite outbreak; Sweetgreen shares dip

Taco Bell has voluntarily removed certain ingredients from its menu at select locations as a precautionary measure amid a widespread outbreak of the cyclospora parasite. While public health officials have not yet confirmed a direct link to Taco Bell or any specific ingredient, the company is cooperating with ongoing investigations into the outbreak, which has affected thousands across the US and appears to be centered in Michigan. Other food establishments, including Sweetgreen and smaller restaurants, are also taking similar precautions, such as removing lettuce from their menus, due to concerns about potential contamination.
