Last month, Taco Bell became the public face of the ongoing Cyclospora parasitic outbreak after some locations in Michigan began voluntarily removing lettuce.

Brands, was allegedly aware of the explosive diarrhea-causing parasite and its connection to some of its locations roughly two weeks before it communicated with customers publicly about the situation.
