Authorities are investigating Taco Bell and lettuce as a cyclosporiasis outbreak surges.
Multiple sources, including FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul and Fox Business, report that authorities are investigating Taco Bell and lettuce as potential sources of a cyclosporiasis outbreak. However, CNBC notes that there is no confirmed link yet between Taco Bell and the outbreak. This suggests that while the investigation is ongoing, no definitive conclusions have been reached.
