Taylor Farms has expanded a voluntary recall of its iceberg lettuce products from central Mexico due to a possible link to the multistate cyclospora outbreak that has sickened people across the United States.

Products with the potential to be contaminated with the diarrhea-causing parasite were shipped to 27 states, including Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois and New Jersey, the California-based company said in a statement Friday.

“We are actively removing the implicated products,” the statement said, adding that the company has stopped sourcing lettuce from an implicated lot in central Mexico.

U.S. health officials earlier this week identified lettuce from a supplier in Mexico as a source of cyclospora contamination in food served at Taco Bell restaurants in five Midwestern states.

Taylor Farms’ recall announcement listed 25 shredded lettuce products and salad mixes sold under eight different brand codes. Taylor Farms did not respond to an emailed request for the full names of those brands or retailers. The recalled products were shipped on Thursday and have expiration dates until August 3.

Sysco, the nation’s largest food distributor, stopped distribution of all Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce products from Mexico and ordered customers to destroy them.

Cyclospora is a microscopic parasite that infects foods that have been in contact with human feces, most commonly when produce is watered or washed with contaminated water. When ingested, the parasite causes an intestinal illness characterized by “frequent and sometimes explosive bowel movements,” according to the CDC.

In 2026, cyclospora sickened at least 1,645 people in the U.S. and hospitalized 141, according to the CDC, which is investigating more than 5,000 additional illnesses that may be linked to the parasite. Last year at this time, only 249 cases had been reported.

Initially, the CDC warned consumers to avoid eating shredded lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia.

“Taco Bell worked quickly to voluntarily recall the product from restaurants and the affected ingredient has been removed from our supply chain nationwide,” the company said in a statement Friday.
