Lettuce was the most likely source of an outbreak of E. coli linked to Taco Bell, federal health officials said Wednesday.This is my favorite part of the article:
…Investigators do not know if the suspect Taco Bell lettuce was distributed to other parts of the country. The lack of further cases suggests it was not, Acheson said.
Investigators had considered cheddar cheese and ground beef as well. They said Taco Bell’s menu, which offers various combinations of the same ingredients, made it difficult to pinpoint the source of the contamination.No way, man! Taco Bell is all about the variety! Some of their shit has shredded cheddar cheese, and some has melted nacho cheese! The same ingredients. Puh-lease!
In all seriousness, this makes me fairly nervous. I mean, no one cooks lettuce. If you eat it, you're eating it raw. I don't like that consuming anything uncooked seems increasingly to be a dodgy proposition.
