Sysco, a major food distributor, stops purchasing iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms and from Mexico as part of its response to a US cyclosporiasis outbreak, the company’s chief executive says in an interview reported by Yahoo News and Investing.com. The decision follows health concerns tied to the outbreak and reflects a supply-chain action taken by Sysco while the source of illnesses is investigated. According to the reports, Sysco’s halt applies to specific iceberg lettuce sourcing linked to Taylor Farms and to imports from Mexico. The company is reported to be taking the step to manage risk and to align purchasing practices with outbreak-related guidance. Both outlets present the CEO’s comments as an exclusive development and do not describe changes to other products or broader sourcing beyond iceberg lettuce. The reports also do not specify the duration of the stop or whether any regulatory or recall actions are directly tied to Sysco’s decision. Details on the outbreak, including case counts and official determinations about implicated suppliers, are not included in the provided summaries, but the reports consistently state that Sysco is pausing those purchases in response to the outbreak.
