Taylor Farms recall deepens cyclospora crisis
The cyclospora outbreak tied to Taco Bell is widening fast. Taylor Farms has recalled iceberg lettuce in 27 states, and Taco Bell posted a bizarre Notes app apology begging customers to return. Meanwhile, a separate E. coli outbreak also links back to Taylor Farms onions at McDonald's, putting the supplier at the center of two food safety crises.
Recall ripple effects
The cyclospora outbreak continues to escalate, with Taylor Farms pulling lettuce across 27 states and the FDA finding contaminated product beyond the recall.
The Verge reports Taylor Farms pulled all iceberg lettuce from the US market after the CDC and FDA linked the cyclospora outbreak to toppings at Taco Bell. The recall extends to customers like Yum Brands and Sysco.

Taco Bell issued a Notes app apology on X, calling it 'the weirdest notes app apology of the year.' The chain says affected lettuce has been removed and asks customers to return, a desperate tone for a brand in crisis.
Taylor Farms under fire
The supplier is now implicated in a second outbreak: McDonald's confirms Taylor Farms onions were linked to a deadly E. coli outbreak, raising questions about its safety protocols.
McDonald's confirms Taylor Farms supplied onions linked to a deadly E. coli outbreak from Quarter Pounders, contradicting earlier reports from US Foods. This second outbreak puts Taylor Farms' supply chain under serious scrutiny.
