Taco Bell sales fall 2% amid cyclospora lettuce outbreak

Yum Brands reported a 2% decline in Taco Bell sales for the quarter ending July 27, attributing the drop to a cyclospora outbreak linked to lettuce and saying the sales slump is recovering. The Associated Press had earlier noted that the outbreak of cyclospora tied to shredded iceberg lettuce reduced same-store sales at Taco Bell and cut foot traffic at several salad-focused chains, while lettuce prices rose sharply. CNBC later said Yum Brands posted earnings above expectations but provided no update on the outbreak, confirming the traffic decline at the chain.
