🚨 U.S. FOOD SAFETY ALERT 🚨
The CDC and FDA are investigating a multistate outbreak of Cyclospora, a parasite that causes severe gastrointestinal illness. The outbreak has been linked to shredded iceberg lettuce served at certain Taco Bell locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia. Health officials continue to investigate whether additional products or locations may be affected.
Symptoms may include: • Watery diarrhea • Stomach cramps • Nausea • Fatigue • Loss of appetite
If you recently consumed shredded iceberg lettuce from an affected location and develop symptoms, contact your healthcare provider. Those at higher risk, including young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems, should seek medical attention promptly.
Stay informed by following updates from the CDC and FDA, and always practice safe food handling and produce washing habits.
