Taco Bell Halts 4 Produce Toppings as Michigan Cyclosporiasis Cases Reach 678

Summary
Taco Bell locations, including in Metro Detroit, have stopped serving lettuce, cilantro onion, pico de gallo and guacamole after a nationwide recall tied to a cyclosporiasis outbreak.
Store notices say tacos and nachos that normally include those items will be sold without them while the chain tries to limit potential spread of the parasite-linked illness.
Michigan has reported 678 cases across 21 counties, including Wayne, Oakland, Monroe and Washtenaw, though officials have not said whether any Taco Bell customers became sick.
Health officials still have not identified a specific produce type or supplier as the source, and Michigan's chief medical executive said a large investigation is underway.
