Taco Bell has temporarily removed lettuce, guacamole, and pico de gallo from many menu items as a parasite causing severe diarrhea spreads across multiple U.S. states.
The fast-food chain acted out of caution as health officials investigate cases of cyclosporiasis, an intestinal illness linked to contaminated produce. The move affects popular items, including burritos, tacos, and bowls that typically feature fresh ingredients.
ive travelled a bunch and lived overseas for a bit. my only bouts with acute food poisoning were both in the US at fucked up cheap restaurants.
iirc rates of food poisoning in the USA are 3x the rate of other developed countries
USA! USA! USA!
