Cyclospora outbreak puts Taco Bell in spotlight
The cyclospora outbreak linked to Taco Bell is the biggest food-safety story today, with Forbes revealing the company's own SEC filing flagged the risk. Meanwhile, the James Beard Awards might leave Chicago, and a new federal bill threatens state food safety laws.
Food safety under fire
Two big food-safety stories broke today: a real outbreak and a legislative threat.
The 'Save Our Bacon' Act would gut state laws like California's Prop 12, which set animal welfare and food safety standards. Two outlets cover this today.
The CDC and FDA are investigating shredded iceberg lettuce at Taco Bell in five states. Michigan data shows 90% of cases ate that lettuce.
Awards and politics
The James Beard Awards' future in Chicago is uncertain, while a community sauna in London shows a different kind of food system.
Bon Appétit's roundup leads with the possibility that the James Beard Awards could leave Chicago, a big deal for the city's food scene.

A community sauna in east London heats itself with food waste from a housing estate, part of a closed-loop garden project that grows mushrooms on coffee grounds.
