Taco Bell E.coli outbreak just gets bigger
Well, the ongoing E.coli outbreak that has now haunted Taco Bell for about a week has now widened, as people in six states have now shown the bacterial infection from eating at Taco Bell restaurants. Strangely, I've heard no word from Taco Bell on the specific supplier of what pre-packaged product may have been contaminated and what the chain is doing to limit the damage (which has already been done most likely).As of noon on Friday, the E.coli outbreak had infected 63 people in six states, and nearly 80% of those have been hospitalized. Seven of the infected have the most feared complication of E. coli infection, a condition called hemolytic uremic syndrome, which is a life-threatening problem that causes kidney failure.
Are we to see deaths as a result of this outbreak? I sure hope not -- but the CDC says the current situation is not over. At this time, Taco Bell's green onion supply is thought to have been the cause of the outbreak.
