Sysco, America's Largest Food Distributor, Has Halted Purchases of Mexican-grown Iceberg Lettuce Amid the Largest u

Sysco, America's largest food distributor, has halted purchases of Mexican-grown iceberg lettuce amid the largest U.S. cyclospora outbreak on record. CEO Kevin Hourican confirmed the move, citing the outbreak's link to lettuce from Taylor Farms' central Mexico operations, which was served at Taco Bell. Sysco suspended sales and issued a recall in mid-July, and is diversifying suppliers while sourcing lettuce from U.S. growers.

The outbreak has reached 10,468 confirmed cases, with 12,255 suspected, and two deaths in Michigan linked to the parasite. Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb noted retailers are avoiding other central Mexican produce. We're not buying iceberg lettuce from them, and we're not buying it from Mexico, Hourican said.
