AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoFood Safety Alert: U.S. health agencies say shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia is the source of a fast-growing cyclosporiasis outbreak, with 1,644+ confirmed cases and 94 hospitalizations reported so far; federal tracing points to a Mexico-linked supplier, prompting warnings not to eat the lettuce in affected states. Industry Response: Taco Bell and supplier Taylor Farms moved quickly—Taco Bell says it removed potentially impacted lettuce and Taylor Farms says it’s voluntarily pulling all central Mexico iceberg lettuce from the U.S. market, stressing its branded salad kits don’t use iceberg. Public Health Watch: Canada reports no related outbreaks and no implicated lettuce distribution there, while other cyclosporiasis illnesses are still being investigated for possible additional sources. Mexico Context: A separate 7.3 quake hit Mexico’s Pacific coast near the Mexico-Guatemala border, shaking communities and triggering a tsunami warning that was later lifted.
