D.A. Davidson 的一项最新调查结果表明，尽管环孢子虫暴发引发了广泛关注，但消费者似乎并未因此对Cava、Chipotle（墨式烧烤）和Sweetgreen等连锁餐厅避而远之。自疫情出现并与Taco Bell（塔可钟）关联以来，主打生鲜食材的餐饮股一度承压下跌。然而，分析师Matt Curtis和Andrew Tompkins在报告中指出，普通食客的担忧程度远不及投资者那般强烈。
调查数据显示，虽然高达87%的受访者听说过与餐厅食品相关的疫情，但近80%的人表示，他们购买餐厅食品的频率与一个月前持平，甚至更高。这种“知而不惧”的态度，显然与资本市场的紧张情绪形成了鲜明对比。
从具体品牌来看，Taco Bell的客流下滑最为明显，而Cava和Sweetgreen的表现则相对稳健。分析师据此推测，此次疫情的影响可能主要集中在Taco Bell品牌本身，暂时未对其他同类企业造成广泛冲击。
