Taylor Farms is preparing to recall produce that may be connected to a multistate Cyclospora outbreak that has sickened thousands of people, Bloomberg reported Friday.

The scope of the potential recall was not immediately clear, according to Bloomberg, which cited documents reviewed by the news organization.

Taylor Farms, a Salinas, California-based produce supplier, has not publicly confirmed the planned recall and did not respond to requests for comment.

The CDC's outbreak notice continued to say Friday that no recall had been issued.

Federal health officials linked 1,645 confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis to shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia.

The regional outbreak has resulted in 94 hospitalizations, while no deaths have been reported, according to the FDA and CDC.

Illnesses connected to the Taco Bell outbreak began between May 13 and July 13.

An FDA traceback investigation identified a single supplier of iceberg lettuce from Mexico used by Taco Bell locations where people reported eating before becoming ill.

Federal agencies have not publicly identified that supplier, but several news organizations, citing officials or people familiar with the investigation, reported that it was Taylor Farms.

The FDA said it was working with the supplier to determine whether potentially contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce remained on the market or had been distributed to additional restaurants or retailers.

Taco Bell has committed to stop using all lettuce from the supplier identified through the FDA investigation.

The CDC advised people not to eat shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants in the five affected states.

Consumers who purchased or received food containing the lettuce should clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers it touched, the FDA said.

Cyclospora is a microscopic parasite that causes cyclosporiasis, a gastrointestinal illness whose symptoms can include watery diarrhea, abdominal cramping, nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite and weight loss.

Infections are generally treated with a combination of two antibiotics, trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole.

The parasite spreads when food or water becomes contaminated with human fecal matter, making worker hygiene and sanitation important safeguards during growing, harvesting and processing.

"Produce safety is something that our growers take very seriously," Kalmia Kniel, a professor of microbial food safety at the University of Delaware, said in an earlier interview. "It's really critical, though, that worker health and hygiene is considered, because this does come from humans. So we have to think about training of employees. We have to think about where our employees are coming from."

Taylor Farms supplies produce to major restaurant chains, including Taco Bell and McDonald's, and sells packaged salads through retailers including Costco and Whole Foods.

The company has previously been associated with foodborne illness investigations, including a 2024 E. coli outbreak linked to onions served at McDonald's and a 2013 Cyclospora outbreak tied to salad mix.

The CDC said Tuesday that it had received reports of 1,644 confirmed domestically acquired Cyclospora cases nationwide since May 1 and was reviewing more than 5,100 additional cases.

Those nationwide figures include illnesses not associated with the Taco Bell outbreak.

Health officials have warned that additional cases could be reported through August because of delays between the onset of illness, testing and reporting.
