Lettuce contaminated with a parasite detected in Taco Bell restaurants in five US states

US health officials have confirmed that lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants in five states is the source of contamination by a parasite causing diarrhea.

Lettuce used in several Taco Bell restaurants across five U.S. states has been identified as the source of a parasitic infection. Health officials made the connection after reporting cases of diarrhea attributed to the parasite among customers of the chain.

The parasite in question causes gastrointestinal problems, including diarrhea, in infected individuals. The epidemiological investigation traced the source back to this specific ingredient served in the affected establishments.
