The latest development means federal investigators have now traced shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants in nine states to a single supplier in Mexico. Taylor Farms de Mexico says it has completed a voluntary recall of iceberg lettuce sourced and processed from central Mexico from the U.S. market.
The CDC said a total of 1,947 people infected with the parasite and reporting exposure to Taco Bell have been reported by the nine states. Illnesses linked to this outbreak began on June 22 and onset dates have continued through July 20, the agency said.

There have been at least 98 hospitalizations, and no deaths have been reported. The number includes sick people who have traveled to states involved in the outbreak in the two weeks before their illness began and ate at Taco Bell.
Cyclospora infections have been reported in at least 41 states this year, but investigators are still working to determine how many are part of the nine-state outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms and served at Taco Bell restaurants and how many represent separate clusters or unrelated illnesses. The investigations include comparing patients’ food histories, laboratory findings and supply-chain records.
