Recent cases of the intestinal illness cyclosporiasis have been linked to shredded iceberg lettuce served at some Taco Bell locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration.
A traceback investigation carried out by the FDA identified a single supplier of iceberg lettuce from Mexico that supplied the Taco Bell locations where people who became sick reported eating. The supplier has not been publicly identified.
The CDC and FDA said more than 1,644 cases in the current outbreak involve people who reported eating at Taco Bell in those five states, including 94 people who were hospitalized.
“Do not eat shredded iceberg lettuce from Taco Bell locations in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia,” the CDC said in a notice posted Thursday. “CDC is also investigating other outbreaks and illnesses of cyclosporiasis nationally that are unrelated to this outbreak.”
The CDC said Taco Bell is working to stop using the lettuce.
In an earlier statement, Taco Bell said it had taken “immediate action to voluntarily remove potentially impacted lettuce from a supplier in select states” following “ongoing conversations with public health officials.”
The statement went on to say in part, “We believe public health is a shared responsibility among restaurants, their suppliers, and authorities, and we are proud to have consistently acted quickly and proactively to protect our guests. Taco Bell has taken precautionary action, and we encourage all relevant restaurants, retailers, and foodservice operators to do the same.”
In an FDA statement, the agency said it is working directly with the identified supplier to determine if potentially contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce remains on the market.
“As part of this investigation, FDA and state partners have initiated collection of product samples for testing and analysis,” the statement said. Additionally, FDA has increased screening at the border for products implicated in the outbreak.
Michigan health officials had previously said preliminary findings suggested lettuce or salad greens as a possible source of the outbreak but had not identified a specific ingredient, grower, supplier or retailer.
The new information comes as health officials continue investigating a multistate outbreak of the illness that has sickened an estimated nearly 7,000 people, according to CDC estimates — not all of them tied to the outbreak involving the Taco Bell locations, according to the CDC.
Symptoms of cyclosporiasis include watery diarrhea, fatigue and loss of appetite, according to the CDC. Symptoms usually begin about a week after a person becomes infected.
Cases have been reported in 34 states, with the bulk of illnesses reported in Michigan. State health officials there have reported 4,312 cases and 102 hospitalizations.
In Ohio, state health officials reported 1,244 cases — up from just under 200 cases at the beginning of July.
Earlier this week, Taco Bell said it was voluntarily and temporarily removing some limited ingredients at select restaurants as a precautionary measure.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is taking a notably passive approach to the safety of the WNBA’s biggest superstar.
Rather than directly addressing the repeated physical treatment of Clark, Silver seemed more interested in tamping down the controversy.
On Thursday, as Silver addressed Clark’s treatment at a CNBC Sports Summit in New York, the commish had an opportunity to demand greater accountability but instead argued that the Clark controversy has been fueled more by politics than by what is happening on the court.

“I’ve come to know Caitlin really well. She’s an incredible player and also an incredible person. And she wants to focus on being the best player she can. She has become a bit of a political football in this country, and I think it’s incredibly unfair to her. … It’s become political ping-pong with her.”
To many Clark supporters, it’s Silver missing the point.
Silver shifted attention away from the repeated hard fouls and physical confrontations that have fueled criticism of the league. Instead, Silver suggested the bigger problem is the controversy surrounding Clark, not the repeated physical play that created it.
“Ultimately, the issues around Caitlin Clark are not largely about officiating, and that particular incident is not about whether a foul should have been called at the time …”
Caitlin Clark No. 22 of the Indiana Fever sits on the court after being fouled during the second half of a WNBA game against the Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Ill., on Aug. 30, 2024.
Clark’s supporters have watched the Fever star absorb hard foul after hard foul this season, making Silver’s explanation a tough sell.
But Silver’s reported involvement raises even more questions. According to multiple reports, he consulted with WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert before Phoenix Mercury forwardAlyssa Thomas was suspended following the controversial throat strike.
Asked point-blank about the report, Silver wouldn’t confirm or deny it.
“I’m not going to comment on [the Engelbert report], because I don’t think it’s fair to Caitlin, and to Cathy Engelbert either.”
While Silver did acknowledge one area that needs improvement, saying, “Do we need to improve WNBA officiating? No doubt about it,” he quickly pivoted away from the larger questions surrounding Clark’s treatment.
At a time when the WNBA needed action, Silver chose optics.

One of the most memorable moments of the 2026 Winter Olympics came early, when skier Lindsey Vonn delivered a gutsy performance for the ages by competing at 41 just a week after injuring her knee in a crash.
Unfortunately, as admirable as her perseverance was, she injured herself badly in another crash just 13 seconds into her run in the women’s downhill final.
Five months later, Vonn is still very much dealing with her injuries.

“It’s been a very slow process,” Vonn told People while attending the ESPYs Wednesday in New York City. “It’s been five months since I’ve been able to actually go to the gym in a somewhat meaningful way. And walking is actually still really hard for me. My ankle is still broken.”
Regardless of the outcome, her decision to attempt that run remains one of the most courageous moments of the Games.

Remember when I mentioned that injury before the Olympics? That wasn’t just a minor bump in the road; it was a completely ruptured ACL.
There was no questioning her courage, but the aftermath has been difficult.

“I was in a wheelchair for so long. I was on crutches for so long,” Vonn said. “It was honestly almost 3½ months that I was unable to walk unassisted. I got very emotional when I was able to walk on my own.”
The FDA has approved a new daily cholesterol pill that works differently from popular statins and may deliver better results for some people. Dr. Corey Bradley, a cardiologist at Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center, joins “CBS Evening News” to discuss.
A lettuce supplier to fast-food giant Taco Bell is being investigated as a possible source for a nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak that has sickened thousands of people, a source familiar with the investigation told CBS News on Thursday.
The source said a traceback investigation by the Food and Drug Administration identified a single supplier of iceberg lettuce from Mexico, Taylor Farms, that was used by Taco Bell locations in five states where people who contracted cyclosporiasis ate. The FDA is investigating, the source said.
Taylor Farms, based in Salinas, California, is a supplier to several major restaurant chains across the U.S.
“Based on ongoing conversations with public health officials, and out of an abundance of caution, Taco Bell has taken immediate action to voluntarily remove potentially impacted lettuce from a supplier in select states,” Taco Bell said in a statement Thursday. “The affected ingredient from our supplier is being indefinitely removed from our supply chain nationwide and will be replaced within 24 hours in select states.”
CBS News has reached out to Taylor Farms for comment as well.
The outbreak, a diarrheal illness caused by the parasite cyclospora, was first reported in early May and has since spread to 34 states, according to the latest numbers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It has sickened at least 1,645 people, per CDC data, including at least 141 hospitalizations. But the CDC’s tally lags behind state health departments, which have reported much larger numbers of cases. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reported Thursday at least 4,312 confirmed cases, including 102 that required hospitalization.
Last year, an E. coli outbreak was linked to onions provided to several restaurants from a Taylor Farms facility in Colorado. As a result, McDonald’s was briefly forced to stop using onions on its Quarter Pounders at some locations.
On its website, Taylor Farms bills itself as the “leading global producer of salads and healthy fresh foods, with production facilities across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Western Europe.”
According to the CDC, cyclosporiasis symptoms usually begin about a week after infection, and the illness can last anywhere from two days to two weeks or more. Symptoms include watery diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss, bloating, nausea and fatigue.
Cyclosporiasis spreads when infected feces contaminate food and water. According to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, previous outbreaks in the U.S. and Canada were linked to bagged salad mixes and kits, fresh cilantro, fresh basil, raspberries, snow peas and green onions.
Experts say people are advised to wash all fresh produce and cook all food when possible.
“The best way to avoid ingesting it is to cook your food,” Dr. Nuwan Gunawardhana, an infectious disease expert at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, told CBS News, adding that brushing or scrubbing vegetables can also help get rid of it. “But it’s also known to be extremely adherent to surfaces, so it won’t protect you 100%.”

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – Earlier this year, Vietnamese social media was overtaken by a name: Tieu Nguyen Bao Ngoc.
The 28-year-old from Vietnam’s largest city, Ho Chi Minh, was said to be the first and only Vietnamese national to have joined the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which sought to break Israel’s siege of Gaza by delivering aid to the territory by sea.

Two weeks before setting sail across the Mediterranean in May, Bao Ngoc, also known as Ashley, had announced her participation in the mission to reach the war-torn enclave where Israel has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians.
News of her exploit circulated online among young Vietnamese who began to closely follow her journey on social media.
In a country where civil society has remained subdued beneath that powerful Vietnamese Communist Party, Bao Ngoc emerged as a rare figure to achieve public visibility on a political matter: the fate of Palestinians under Israel’s occupation.
“As a Vietnamese who has endured the same sufferings and war crimes committed by Western imperialists, especially the US, I feel tremendous sympathy for the Palestinian people,” Bao Ngoc told Indonesia’s Republika Online in an interview from aboard her aid vessel during the voyage to reach Gaza.

Those words went viral in Vietnam.
Messages of support, including digital artwork featuring the young activist, flooded social media platforms as Bao Ngoc’s message of solidarity with Palestinians struck a chord among young people in the country.
But on May 18, the Gaza flotilla live tracker, which many had followed to chart Bao Ngoc journey towards Gaza, sent an alert that her vessel had been intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters west of Cyprus.
A prerecorded SOS video message from Bao Ngoc was released shortly afterwards on the flotilla’s website, and then on Vietnamese social media, confirming that she had been abducted by Israeli forces and urging people to call on the Vietnamese government to intervene and get her released.
Her supporters heeded the call, flooding social media with the demand to “release Bao Ngoc!”
With the outpouring of support in Vietnam that Bao Ngoc had inspired, many expected that the episode would make headlines in the local media.
But it didn’t.
All major media outlets in Vietnam remained silent during Bao Ngoc’s two days of detention by Israeli forces.
The unofficial silence from the media, as well as the Vietnamese government, stood in contrast with that of neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia, which immediately responded, along with many other governments, by condemning Israel for the abduction of their citizens while in international waters aboard the flotilla.

Vietnam’s public began to fill the information vacuum.
Bao Ngoc’s supporters launched a mass email campaign, sending more than 2,000 petitions to the Vietnamese embassy in Israel demanding that it take action to ensure the activist’s safety and release from Israeli detention.
Then an unexpected backlash followed.
Pro-government influencers in Vietnam weighed in, accusing Bao Ngoc and her pro-Palestine activism of harming Vietnam’s national image.
Some questioned the authenticity of her nationality, and when another prerecorded video was posted on the site VietForPalestine of Bao Ngoc holding her official Vietnamese passport, another conspiracy theory circulated that it was AI-generated.
Local pro-Palestine groups in Vietnam were also accused of promoting antigovernment sentiments for daring to file a petition to the Vietnamese embassy in Israel seeking its intervention to free the activist.
Vu Minh Hoang, a historian of diplomacy in Vietnam, said the accusation of antigovernment activity was made despite it being “the basic responsibility of the embassy to protect all of its citizens”.
After two days, the silence was broken.
Vietnam’s diplomatic mission to Israel issued a public statement, stating that it had been working to ensure the young activist’s safety and her release by Israel, along with other Gaza flotilla participants, to Istanbul in neighbouring Turkiye.
Vu described the incident as unprecedented in contemporary Vietnam.
“I struggle to think of a similar case when a Vietnamese citizen participated in activism abroad that required government intervention,” he told Al Jazeera.

The appeal of Bao Ngoc’s case stems from Vietnam’s own historical memory and the political maturation of younger Vietnamese, said Ly Thuy Nguyen, a scholar of transnational activism.
Bao Ngoc and her supporters hail from a younger generation of Vietnamese “which didn’t experience war firsthand, but whose cultural identity was shaped by the imageries of war”, Ly told Al Jazeera.
Through her actions, Bao Ngoc made the Palestinian struggle and the war on Gaza relatable to everyday Vietnamese people, Ly said.
Bao Ngoc drew “parallels between memories of America’s war in Vietnam and the genocide against Palestinians”, Ly said.
“Bao Ngoc transformed such general sympathy to a specific commitment – putting her body on the line to bring attention to the plights of Palestinians – that inspires her generation, and poses the question: What next is to be done?” Ly added.
A student of sociology and part-time baker in Ho Chi Minh City, Bao Ngoc said she never intended to become an activist.
Before her support for the Palestinian cause, her only previous involvement in activism had been running a high-school animal shelter.
It was while Bao Ngoc was pursuing a master’s degree at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore that Hamas launched its October 7, 2023 attacks on southern Israel.
Israel’s devastating response to the attack changed everything for the Vietnamese student.
“I woke up on October 8 and was immediately overcome by regret, because I had been aware of the Palestinian cause but didn’t do anything for them,” she told Al Jazeera.
So, she decided to act.
The first thing she did was drop out of her master’s programme, dissatisfied with what she saw as NTU’s ties with Israel.
Returning home to Vietnam, she started by organising fundraising bake sales and co-founding the solidarity group VietForPalestine in early 2024.
The grassroots group grew to more than 22,000 followers online and produced educational content on Palestine and the historical solidarity between the Vietnamese and Palestinian people.
Initially, Bao Ngoc remained anonymous, wary of the consequences for political activism in strictly monitored Vietnamese society.
But that changed in late 2024 after Israel bombed the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Hospital in Gaza.
Footage of a 20-year-old Palestinian patient burned alive while connected to an IV drip shocked Bao Ngoc into making public statements.
“I couldn’t get that image out of my head,” she said. “Words cannot express the rage I felt.”

She appeared publicly in VietForPalestine’s first online video, declaring: “Israel has no right to defend itself, no occupation force does. End the genocide now.”
Her video went viral.
Bao Ngoc’s fiery public admonishments of Israel drew followers and became a counterweight to pro-Israel sentiments in sections of Vietnam’s media and religious and business communities, where Israel has been promoted as a success – a scrappy, smart “Startup Nation”, as the title of one popular Vietnamese-language book describes the country.
Despite the historical solidarity between Vietnam and Palestine during the 1960s and 1970s, the current government of Vietnam has been increasingly hesitant to uphold that legacy amid expanding military and economic ties with Israel since 2010, according to Evyn Le Espiritu Gandhi, who has researched Vietnam-Palestine relations from 1967 to 1975.
‘Support for Palestine is natural’
Bao Ngoc is not alone in the Southeast Asia region in seeing Gaza and Palestine as a struggle that matters for their generation and for their governments.
Ko Tinmaung, a Rohingya activist based in Canada and also a Southeast Asian participant in the flotilla earlier this year, was born in exile in Bangladesh after his family fled Myanmar.
Ko became politically active in 2017 following the destruction of hundreds of Rohingya villages and the displacement of 700,000 people by Myanmar’s military in a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Muslim minority.
Ko said “support for Palestine is natural and unrelenting” among the Rohingya forced from their homes in Myanmar and into refugee camps in neighbouring Bangladesh.
“They know what starvation in Gaza feels like because they are experiencing similar conditions,” he told Al Jazeera.
The connection between Palestinians and the Rohingya is even more direct, given that Myanmar’s military has a traditionally close relationship with Israel, and Israeli weapons makers have sold advanced arms to the Myanmar regime, according to rights workers.
“The military regime in Myanmar is not only an enemy of the Burmese people, but also of the Palestinians,” Phil Robertson, director of Asia Human Rights and Labor Advocates, told Al Jazeera.

Indonesian journalist Bambang Noroyono, aka “Aberg”, also joined the flotilla this year.
According to Aberg, there is widespread support for Palestinians among the Indonesian public, but the government of President Prabowo Subianto has pursued policies contradictory to the public sentiment.
Indonesia accepted an invitation to join US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace and had pledged earlier this year to send 8,000 troops to be part of the board’s International Stabilization Force in Gaza, a move critics have argued could legitimise the occupation of Gaza by foreign forces.
For Robertson, the plight of the Palestinians is also connected to the future of rights in Southeast Asia and beyond.
“If Israel can get away with what they do in Gaza, other governments will think they can get away with doing the same thing to their own people,” he said.
Bao Ngoc captured that sentiment in an interview with the Rohingya Network activist platform earlier this year.
“Our region has always been rich not only in resources, but also in our will to fight for liberation,” she said.
“This is an opportunity for us to connect the Palestinian and Rohingya struggles to our Southeast Asian identity and make it the centre point of our fights for liberation.”
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK – more than 64,000 are diagnosed each year, and about 12,000 die from the disease.
A £60m trial is looking at the best way to introduce targeted prostate cancer screening by combining rapid MRI scans with treatments that cause lower harm, such as focal therapy.
All men diagnosed with prostate cancer as part of the”Transform” screening study will be offered focal therapy, if appropriate, to treat their disease.
One of the barriers to a national prostate screening programme has been the concern that it will lead to more harm than good because of the side effects of treatment.
This focal therapy trial, published in the journal European Urology, is another key piece of the jigsaw, which could help lead to a screening programme in years to come.
Dr Alastair Lamb, Clinical Reader, Barts Cancer Institute, St Bartholomew’s Hospital, said: “It’s an exciting potential treatment.
“We need randomised trials. We need better understanding of localised prostate cancer, how it arises, how it grows and how it spreads.
“We eagerly await the results of the PART Trial, the first and only large randomised controlled trial comparing focal versus radical therapy in prostate cancer that needs treatment – until then focal therapy remains a very promising experimental treatment.”
The 16 host cities across the US, Canada and Mexico have been welcoming an influx of fans and tourists boosting hospitality, hotels and local businesses.
But while the Scots drank Boston dry and have won the heart of the city and its people, experts say the long-term economic benefits are minimal.
Fifa estimated some $41bn would be added to the global economy, of which $17bn would boost the US economy alone, with 185,000 jobs created, mostly in hospitality and accommodation.
But Alexander Budzier, a fellow in management practice at Oxford University and chief executive of project management company Oxford Global Projects, says the long-term economic benefits of hosting such a big sporting event just do not materialise.
Host cities actually typically see a big drop in visitors, he says, as many seek to avoid the tournament chaos.
And while there may be a spike in hiring, he argues it is typically only for lower-paid jobs in hospitality. “It creates jobs, but it does not create wealth,” he says.
Official figures show that hiring in US pubs, bars and restaurants ramped up ahead of the tournament in May, but the boom was short-lived.
The only “worthwhile” economic benefit, Budzier argues, is the regeneration projects that can be done, such as the redevelopment and housing built in Stratford in London following the 2012 Olympic Games.
But due to much of this World Cup using existing stadia, hotels, training complexes and travel infrastructure, “there won’t be any economic benefits from development”.
Households across the UK should brace for supermarket price rises, a leading consumer group has warned, as the cost of the top-rising food products are revealed.
Supermarket inflation rose for the first time in more than a year in June, research by consumer champion website Which? has found. There was an uptick from 2.4 per cent in May to 2.6 per cent last month, with increased pressure on supply chains due to the US’s war in Iran thought to be a key factor.
The new data reveals that Britons are are paying a massive 11.1 per cent more for fish than in June last year, making it the food product that has risen the fastest in price.
This is followed by energy drinks, which have risen 5.5 per cent, chocolate (3.8 per cent), water (3.6 per cent) and fresh fruit (3.4 per cent) – all rising at inflation-busting rates.
Researchers tracked the price of over 27,000 products over the year to draw their findings.
The rise in the price of fish mirrors the increased costs reported by fish and chip shop owners this year, many of whom have warned that the rising cost of cod and haddock is forcing them to make customers pay more.
Reena Sewraz, Which? retail expert, said: “After months of easing grocery inflation, this month’s increase is a reminder that pressure on household budgets hasn’t disappeared.
“While overall inflation remains far below the highs seen during the cost of living crisis, our latest data, combined with retailers’ own warnings that cost pressures remain in the system, suggests supermarkets cannot be complacent and it remains crucial for affordable budget ranges to remain widely available across all stores so shoppers aren’t forced to pay more for everyday essentials.”
Looking at the biggest price rises for individual products, researchers found that a 10-pack of Asda own-brand cheddar slices increased the most, from 65p in the three months to June 2025, to £1.39 in the same period this year – a 113 per cent rise.

This was followed by the 750ml bottle of Shloer Zero White Grape at the retailer, rising 95 per cent from £1.42 to £2.77. Also making the list was Sainsbury’s own-brand pork pies, up 92 per cent, a 40g bag of Kettle crisps at Morrisons, up 70 per cent, and a 350g pack of breaded haddock fillets at Tesco, up 54 per cent.
Inflation held steady at 2.8 per cent in May after a spike to 3.3 per cent in March, driven by higher fuel costs due to the US-Iran war which began in February.

Despite making progress on peace talks last month, conflict between the two nations has resumed in the Middle East, with the crucial Strait of Hormuz shipping waterway becoming a bargaining chip.
Around 20 per cent of the world’s gas and oil passes through the key trading route, with its effective closure spiking oil prices and hitting the cost of fuel, energy and food around the globe.
At the end of last month, Sainsbury’s chief executive Simon Roberts said grocery inflation had so far remained lower than had been feared, but he warned that “pressure in the system” remained.
He told stakeholders that “consumer sentiment is not strong with a good deal of uncertainty on how things will shape up for them and there was a lot of uncertainty still in terms of exactly how the impact of the conflict in the Middle East will impact the economy and consumers”.
“We certainly think by the mid-summer, we’ll start to see some of the pressure building from the fresh food supply chains,” he said, delivering the supermarket chain’s trading update.
Mr Roberts added: “I think [it’s] super clear as we all know, a big component of the cost of food is energy cost. As the cost of energies being under more pressure, hence the inflation pressures in the system.”
A Tesco spokesperson said: “We are committed to keeping the cost of the weekly shop as low as possible. We do not recognise these figures, and Which? has not shared its calculations with us. Customers can be confident in the great value that they will find at Tesco, week-in, week-out.”
A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: “The three products highlighted are not representative of a typical weekly shop, we offer our customers great value across their whole basket when they shop with us. Over the past five years, we have invested more than £1 billion in keeping prices low, rather than passing on the full impact of rising costs to customers.”
An Asda spokesperson said: “Asda offers the lowest prices of any traditional supermarket on the products families buy most, from everyday essentials to the big brands they know and love, with independent surveys by Which? and The Grocer consistently showing that.”
