A Never Ending Cycle: Food Safety Lapses at US Restaurant Chains The recent cyclospora outbreak linked to Taco Bell's iceberg lettuce supply chain is the latest example of a disturbing pattern in the US food industry.
The investigation has implicated Taylor Farms, a California based firm supplying fresh vegetables to several major restaurant chains, including McDonald's.
This is not the first time Taylor Farms has been linked to foodborne illnesses; their onions were identified as the likely source of an E. coli outbreak in 2024 that affected 104 people and claimed one life.
