Parazitul care îi sperie pe americani: restaurantele pierd clienți, iar salata se scumpește

A Cyclospora outbreak linked to shredded iceberg lettuce is impacting U.S. restaurants, particularly Taco Bell, as prices rise due to adverse weather. Health authorities are investigating the outbreak that has sickened thousands, with Taco Bell recalling the affected product. The parent company, Yum Brands, reported a 2% sales decline, while other chains like Chipotle expect lower sales as customers avoid salad dishes. The outbreak coincides with challenging conditions for lettuce growers, leading to a 33% price increase for fresh lettuce compared to last year.
