Taco Bell Customer Visits Drop 31% After Cyclospora Outbreak

Taco Bell Customer Visits Drop 31% After Cyclospora Outbreak

Taco Bell has seen a big drop in customers after a parasite called Cyclospora was found in their lettuce.

This parasite can make people very sick with stomach problems.

Taco Bell quickly removed the bad lettuce and offered new menu items without lettuce.

Health officials are working hard to find out where the parasite came from and how to stop more people from getting sick.

Michigan has been hit the hardest, with thousands of cases reported.

The investigation is still ongoing, and more information is expected to come out soon.
