The Food and Drug Administration has pointed to iceberg lettuce supplied by a Taylor Farms facility in central Mexico as the likely culprit, and the contaminated products have been recalled. The only nationwide restaurant chain linked to the outbreak is <span>Yum Brands&#8217;<span><span><button><\/button><\/span><\/span><\/span> Taco Bell, which is already seeing sales bounce back.<\/p>\n<p>Still, fear of the waterborne parasite has weighed on many consumers&#8217; desire for fresh produce, particularly salad. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Company&#8217;s updated outlook reflects reduced consumer demand for fresh prepared foods due to the multistate outbreak of cyclosporiasis since mid-July,&#8221; Sweetgreen said in a statement. &#8220;The pace and timing of recovery remain uncertain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For 2026, the company is now projecting its annual same-store sales could shrink 7% to 8%. Its previous forecast anticipated same-store sales declines of just 2% to 4%.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatemovingexpertss.com\/?p=1610\">Sen.

It was previously forecasting earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $1 million to $6 million. <\/p>\n<p>Other restaurant chains not linked to the contaminated iceberg lettuce have also seen their sales fall. <span>Chipotle Mexican Grill<span><span><button><\/button><\/span><\/span><\/span> said in late July that cyclospora fears had about a 2 percentage point impact on sales in the second half of July. Salad and Go, an already struggling chain, filed for bankruptcy protection on Tuesday, saying that consumer mistrust from the outbreak exacerbated its ongoing business challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Sweetgreen also reported its second-quarter results after the bell on Thursday. Its quarterly loss was steeper than expected, and its revenue fell short of Wall Street&#8217;s expectations. <\/p>\n<p><em>Correction: This story has been revised to reflect that Sweetgreen reported its second-quarter results after the bell on Thursday.
