Taco Bell E. Coli Probably Lettece Not Green Onions U.S.

by @ 4:19 pm.  Filed under Science, Health News

I did want to clarify something I reported on earlier. I had said that the Taco Bell e. coli problem was likely caused by green onions but it now seems that may not have been the case.

Lettuce May Have Caused Taco Bell E. Coli Outbreak

Now the likely culprit is lettuce. Cheese has been ruled out because all the cheese use is pasteurized and therefore it is unlikely to be the source of the contamination.

Being as there is no clear answer, this may lead to lingering problems for Taco Bell.

    1. Faultline USA Says:

      ”We have a nation consisting of a growing number of single individual households – working adults with little time or inclination to cook at home. Additionally more and more overworked Moms and Dads are opting to give their children fast food meals at least once a day. Many of our 20-40 something folks are into healthy living which often includes a preference for eating loads of dark leafy veggies and salads at the local salad bar. How many meals do you eat out daily? Can you afford to trust your very life to just any restaurant? Should you risk eating the fresh produce you purchase at the grocery store? . . .”
