About this episode

A Cyclospora outbreak linked to Taco Bell's lettuce is affecting 30 U.S. states, with Canadian cases likely travel-related.

A massive Cyclospora outbreak is sweeping across 30 U.S. states, causing severe diarrhea and dehydration through contaminated produce — with shredded iceberg lettuce from a single Mexican supplier now under investigation after Taco Bell recalls. While the parasite doesn’t spread person-to-person, food supply chains are under intense scrutiny, and Canadian health officials say their cases are likely travel-related, not part of this U.S. outbreak.
