North Carolina health officials report that local Cyclospora cases are not linked to the Taco Bell lettuce outbreak affecting other states. Experts note that tracing the source of Cyclospora is notoriously difficult due to long incubation periods and the limitations of current genetic fingerprinting.
Cyclospora outbreaks across five states are linked to shredded lettuce served at Taco Bell, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration . However, that link only officially applies only to: Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia.
