Taco Bell has traced the growing cases of E. coli outbreak to green onions at its restaurants yesterday morning. The total number of cases in three Northeastern states across United Steates has swelled to 99.
Taco Bell officials said that their preliminary tests traced the E. coli outbreak to three samples of green onions, which the restaurant chain usually sprinkles on many of its menu items. Now Taco Bell has removed all the green onions from its 5,800 outlets across the United States as a precaution.
New cases were reported in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania yesterday. The number of sick people on Long Island nearly doubled to 41, and the outbreak has spread to far-flung counties upstate. Even in Jew Jersey, three new cases were reported for a total of 43 under investigation. One of the new cases reported was that of a 43-year-old North Plainfield man who ate at a Taco Bell on Dec. 2, which was far later than most of the other victims.
