Taco Bell :: FDA Narrows Investigation of E. Coli O157:H7 Outbreak at Taco Bell Restaurants

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today narrowed its investigation of an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections linked to Taco Bell restaurants in Northeastern states by focusing its efforts on finding the sources of shredded lettuce served at the stores. This new focus is based on the fact that three items — shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese and cooked ground beef — were implicated in a study conducted by the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the items most likely to have been the vehicles of pathogen (disease-causing agent) transmission in this outbreak. Based on a number of other factors, as well as food processing techniques used for cheese (pasteurization) and ground beef (cooking), lettuce is considered overall to be the single most likely source of the outbreak at this time.
