The Centers for Disease Control began tracking Cyclospora in May 2026 but has not publicly linked the parasite to any specific foods or restaurant brands. After a Washington Post report suggested Taco Bell was under scrutiny, the chain quickly removed ingredients such as onions, lettuce and cilantro from menus at select locations on July 14 as a precaution, issued statements pledging cooperation with health authorities and emphasized guest safety.
