- Taco Bell Linked To Salmonella Outbreak
According to The South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the popular fast food chain Taco Bell has been connected to a salmonella outbreak last fall. The outbreak left 68 people ill in 10 states.
The salmonella outbreak started in October of last year. The ten states that reported illnesses were Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio and Tennessee. Thirty-one percent of the patients had to be hospitalized, but no deaths were reported.
On Wednesday, Taco Bell said in a statement that only some of the people that became ill ate at Taco Bell while others had not. The restaurant chain said that they believe the salmonella problem happened at the supplier level before it was delivered to restaurants. The January 19 report by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) backed up Taco Bell’s claims.
Originally, the CDC did not name Taco Bell in the report; they only referred to the restaurant as a Mexican-style fast food chain, identified as “Restaurant A”. Food Safety News was the first media outlet to identify Taco Bell as “Restaurant A”.
Some common symptoms of salmonella are diarrhea, fever, vomiting and abdominal cramps.
According to the CDC, 1 in 6 people become sick every year from contaminated food. Every year 3,000 people die from food-borne illness.
Taco Bell has been linked to two other outbreaks in the last six years.

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .
