The chain said all menu items remain available as investigators link the parasite to outbreaks sickening almost 1,500 people nationwide.
- Taco Bell removed fresh produce including lettuce, cilantro, onion, pico de gallo, and guacamole at select locations amid a Cyclospora outbreak investigation. Menu items remain available but are served without these ingredients.

- The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reported 678 cases across 21 counties, far exceeding the state's typical annual average of about 50 cases. Michigan is the hardest-hit state.
- According to the Cleveland Clinic, the "main symptom is loud, explosive diarrhea," along with bloating, nausea, and gas. Treatment typically includes antibiotics to combat the parasitic infection.
- Food safety experts emphasize that washing produce does not remove the parasite, which spreads through human waste. No specific grower or produce type has been identified as the outbreak source.
