Taco Bell’s Lettuce Trouble Serves Up A Tough Test For Yum! Brands Ahead Of Q2 Earnings

Yum! Brands faces investor concerns ahead of Q2 earnings due to a Taco Bell lettuce-related cyclospora outbreak.

The outbreak has reduced customer visits to Taco Bell locations.

Taco Bell uses lettuce supplied by a third party, and the source of contamination is under investigation.

Cyclospora infections cause gastrointestinal illness, and the CDC is monitoring the outbreak.

Yum! Brands' Q2 earnings report will reflect the impact of the outbreak on Taco Bell sales.
