At 6:00 a.m. EDT on July 31, 2026, amid concerns about a parasitic outbreak, loyal customers of Taco Bell remain steadfast. In Washington’s Chinatown neighborhood, the Taco Bell Cantina continues to see brisk business despite the looming cyclosporiasis scare.
Sitting at a small table, Tia Gonzalez found herself contemplating her order of a Luxe Cravings Box featuring lettuce. The pause was due to the recent connection between lettuce at the chain and the cyclosporiasis outbreak affecting thousands in the U.S.
Gonzalez described the situation as “weird,” noting the continuation of lettuce offerings despite the outbreak.
