A cyclosporiasis outbreak has sickened thousands across multiple states and is linked to shredded iceberg lettuce from a West Coast supplier, traced to a Mexican farm. Lawsuits have been filed against Taco Bell and suppliers as regulators widen investigations and a recall is under way.
Taylor Farms has voluntarily recalled iceberg lettuce distributed to 27 states after U.S. health officials linked shredded lettuce served at Taco Bell to Cyclospora contamination. The recall covers products from central Mexico with best-by dates through Aug. 3, and Sysco has halted distribution of affected lettuce.
The Federal Reserve has held its policy rate, with investors pushing yields higher amid concerns about inflation. Markets are signaling a harder path ahead, with oil prices rising and equities correcting after recent swings.
