Public health officials haven\u2019t confirmed a link to Taco Bell, to any specific ingredient or supplier, or to other businesses, the company said in a statement. The chain removed the items \u201cvoluntarily and temporarily\u201d as authorities continue to review the causes of the cyclospora outbreak. It didn\u2019t specify which ingredients were affected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taco Bell is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands Inc. It runs some restaurants and franchises others to independent operators. Franchisees in some Michigan stores stopped serving lettuce as a precaution, Bloomberg News previously\u00a0reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Michigan appears to be the epicenter of the outbreak, but so far more than 30 states have also reported infections in the last two weeks, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Public health officials there said the outbreak may be tied to contaminated lettuce or salad greens.<\/p>\n

Yum shares fell 2.7% at 3:40 p.m. in New York trading on Tuesday. The stock has advanced about 4% so far this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shares of Sweetgreen Inc., which has a salad-focused menu, fell as much as 13% on Tuesday, the most intraday since February. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Sweetgreen if they can\u2019t get lettuce or if lettuce prices skyrocket, it\u2019s a bigger problem,\u201d Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Michael Halen said. \u201cSalads are a massive percentage of what they sell.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sweetgreen didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Smaller restaurants in other states have also started taking precautionary measures. The Buzz cafe in Monrovia, Maryland, said that it\u2019s\u00a0removing some menu items\u00a0due to the cyclospora outbreak.\u00a0Aberrant Ales\u00a0in Howell, Michigan, is taking lettuce off its menu.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Niki Becker, the owner of a chain of vegan restaurants in Florida called\u00a0the Green Table Restaurant, opted to take lettuce off the menu at all locations. She also advised against using raw scallions and fresh basil.<\/p>\n

Becker said she hasn\u2019t received a recall notice from her suppliers, but opted to take action to ensure customer safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat has me bothered, is that nobody is really saying where it\u2019s coming from,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
