Eligibility
Who may qualify for a claim
Not every case looks the same, and there is no single test. These are the factors used to evaluate a cyclosporiasis claim connected to the recalled lettuce. If most of them describe your experience, it is worth having your situation looked at.
You ate at a Taco Bell during the outbreak window
Generally meals eaten between early June and mid-August 2026. If your dates are close to that window, they are still worth reviewing — the window is refined as more case data comes in.
You can identify where you ate
The city and state of the restaurant, and roughly when you were there. A receipt, bank statement, or delivery-app order makes it stronger, but is not required to start.
You were diagnosed, or your symptoms match
A stool test confirming Cyclospora is the strongest evidence. A physician's diagnosis without lab confirmation also counts, and so does a documented course of matching symptoms.
You needed treatment — at any level
Outpatient or urgent care, an emergency room visit, or a hospital admission. Severity affects the value of a claim, not whether you can bring one.
You lost work, income, or time
Missed shifts, used-up leave, cancelled contracts, or being unable to care for your family. These are real losses and they belong in a claim.
You know roughly when the illness started
Symptoms typically begin about a week after exposure. Your onset date is one of the main things used to connect your illness to the recalled product.
Family members count too
If a child, spouse, or parent in your household got sick after the same meal, include those details in the review. Claims are accepted from every state — this is a national intake, not a local one.
