Taylor Farms recalls lettuce linked to widespread cyclospora outbreak

Taylor Farms is expanding its voluntary recall of iceberg lettuce due to a potential link to a multistate cyclospora outbreak. The recalled lettuce, sourced from central Mexico, was distributed to 27 states across the U.S. Health officials have identified lettuce from a Mexican supplier as a source of contamination, which has led to numerous illnesses and hospitalizations nationwide. Major food distributor Sysco has halted distribution of these products, and Taco Bell has removed the affected ingredient from its supply chain. AI
