The CDC said Tuesday that at least 34 states have reported cases of the parasitic intestinal disease. More than 140 people have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.
The CDC expects cases to rise through the end of August and has issued a new alert to physicians to recommend testing.
National health authorities haven't identified a source of the illness, though health officials in Michigan have suggested lettuce or salad greens as possible sources.
Also Tuesday, Taco Bell said it's removing some ingredients as a precautionary measure.
