I eat Taco Bell all the time, but not during this recent incident.
I always recommend checking out local health inspection reports. You can find most municipalities online. YOU'D BE SHOCKED (maybe scared is a better word)

Salad Shooter!
Now that is funny!
Here's the part I don't understand though - there are 73,000 E. Coli cases in the US a year - roughly 200 a day. Why is this even a story? Food nazis targetting another fast food to shut down???
Taco Bell is kind of like the Burger King of Mexican food. The best place to find Mexican food is still an old fashioned Mexican restaurant where they know how to cook. Find a good one by word of mouth and go there.
Best Mexican food I ever had was always in Mexican restaurants that are not part of a chain. And far less likely to have problems with more than just one restaurant.
By the way, they still do not know how people became ill at the Taco Bells. They have apparently ruled out the green onions. It will be a long time before I ever go back to a Taco Bells.

e.coli mutates very quickly.
My company makes several kits to test for it, the only excuse for not catching it is being too cheap to test for it.

Taco bell is nasty! nastttttyyyy! a friend of mine used to work there, he said the meat comes in cardboard boxes that just says "MEAT".... obviously they cannot specify what meat is in it because it could be a mix of things.
the sad thing is most people think taco bell is mexican food, but none of those people live in so-cal - more for us.

Taco Bell was very different before being bought by PepsiCo.
Much better product. Better fresher ingredients.
Hard taco shells fried every morning. Start with a soft shell then deep fry to make it hard.
Meat was cooked on-site, not pre-cooked then warmed as it is now.
Just all-around better quality in the old days.
T'was sometime in the mid- to later 1980s when the changes occured.
Burp.

Kinda redefines making a "run" for the border. Or should that be runs?
I'm not sure that Taco Bell is to blame for this. The problem is with the produce they purchased. It looks like the lettuce may have been to blame, and in the Taco Johns e-coli problem (NE Iowa and Minnesota) the lettuce may be to blame as well.
Of course that doesn't stop people from pointing fingers at Taco Bell and making a rush to judgement without having all of the facts.
The real problem is bacterial contamination of the produce, which can and does affect more than specific businesses. Taco Bell purchased produce from the same supplier that supplies many different places. Sadly, very little produce is currently irradiated because of clueless people who think irradiation is dangerous.

I think you're underestimating most people... taco bell is fast food, plain and simple... kind of like comparing a Big Mac to a Smokehouse burger from Ruby Tuesday's.. same genre, different class.
but most people see them as synonymous because they don't know the difference.... come on kids, we're going out for mexican - YAY! I want a chalupa.
Yep, you wouldn't want to compare a fast food restaurant to
hand made flour tortillas in Rio Grande City, TX. I don't think any fast food chain can duplicate the taste. For a really good flour tortillia; it has to be hand made and slightly burned by a person that was taught this art from their grandmother.
