Taco Bell was behind latest salmonella outbreak that sickened 68 people in 10 states last fall
Taco Bell was behind latest salmonella outbreak, Oklahoma says
By JoNel Aleccia
Oklahoma health officials say that Taco Bell restaurants were the source of salmonella food poisoning linked to an outbreak that sickened 68 people in 10 states last fall.
Federal officials who have withheld the identity of the Mexican-style fast-food restaurant chain tied to the outbreak said they have not changed their position.
"Our response remains the same," said Lola Russell, a spokeswoman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. Kristy Bradley, the state's epidemiologist, had staff forward documents that confirmed that of the 16 Oklahoma residents infected with the outbreak strain of the bacteria, eight consumed food from Taco Bell. That included eight of 12 who were able to be interviewed in connection with the outbreak.
