    CHICAGO, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Sysco  SYY.N , the biggest U.S.
food distributor, has stopped buying iceberg lettuce from Taylor
Farms and from Mexico due to the U.S. cyclosporiasis outbreak,
CEO Kevin Hourican said on Tuesday. 
    An FDA investigation has linked the outbreak to iceberg
lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants and sourced from
privately held Taylor Farms operations in central Mexico.
However, authorities are still looking for other potential
sources.
