Taco Bell iceberg lettuce identified as source of cyclosporiasis in 5 states
塔可钟（Taco Bell）碎生菜被确认为五州环孢子虫病感染源
Federal officials on Friday announced that shredded iceberg lettuce imported from Mexico and served at Taco Bell restaurants in five states is a source of Cyclospora, the foodborne parasite causing the nationwide surge in cases of explosive, watery diarrhea. The five states are Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia.
联邦官员周五宣布，从墨西哥进口并供应给五个州塔可钟（Taco Bell）餐厅的碎圆生菜（iceberg lettuce），是导致全美爆发爆发性水样腹泻的食源性寄生虫——环孢子虫（Cyclospora）的来源。这五个州分别是印第安纳州、肯塔基州、密歇根州、俄亥俄州和西弗吉尼亚州。
A traceback investigation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration identified a single supplier in Mexico as the source of iceberg lettuce for Taco Bell restaurants where sick people reported eating. While federal authorities did not name the supplier, sources told the Washington Post that it is Taylor Farms.
美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）和食品药品监督管理局（FDA）通过溯源调查发现，墨西哥的一家单一供应商是患者曾就餐的塔可钟餐厅所用圆生菜的来源。虽然联邦当局未点名该供应商，但据《华盛顿邮报》消息来源称，该供应商为 Taylor Farms。
Taylor Farms was also implicated in a 2024 multi-state E. coli outbreak linked to contaminated onions served at McDonald’s and other fast-food restaurants. At the time, FDA inspectors found multiple violations at a Taylor Farms facility in Colorado.
Taylor Farms 也曾卷入 2024 年多州爆发的大肠杆菌疫情，该疫情与麦当劳及其他快餐店供应的受污染洋葱有关。当时，FDA 检查人员在 Taylor Farms 位于科罗拉多州的一处设施中发现了多项违规行为。
Amid the current outbreak, the FDA and CDC urge consumers not to eat iceberg lettuce from Taco Bell restaurants in the five listed states. They note that shredded iceberg lettuce sold in grocery stores or served in other restaurants has not so far been implicated.
在当前疫情期间，FDA 和 CDC 敦促消费者不要食用上述五个州塔可钟餐厅提供的圆生菜。他们指出，目前在杂货店出售或在其他餐厅供应的碎圆生菜尚未发现与此次疫情有关。
Cyclosporiasis cases have been reported in 34 states, with multiple clusters and outbreaks suspected. The CDC is reporting 1,645 laboratory-confirmed cases nationwide, including 141 hospitalizations, but state and local health departments report much larger case tallies, which also include probable cases.
目前全美已有 34 个州报告了环孢子虫病病例，并怀疑存在多个聚集性感染和疫情爆发。CDC 报告全国范围内有 1,645 例实验室确诊病例，其中包括 141 例住院治疗，但州和地方卫生部门报告的病例总数要大得多，其中还包括疑似病例。
Michigan, which has been hit hard in the Taco Bell-linked multi-state outbreak, reported 5,002 cases as of July 17, along with 102 hospitalizations.
在与塔可钟相关的多州疫情中受灾严重的密歇根州，截至 7 月 17 日已报告 5,002 例病例，并有 102 例住院治疗。
