Taco Bell took more action sooner than the US government did.
Right, I don’t get how this is so under the radar. They took preemptive action ten days ago, a whole week before Taylor Farms was named as the supplier.
My question is why Taco fucking Bell has better epidemiologists (or whatever) than the government. I meant, I know the answer in broad strokes, but still.
The pessimist in me says that sometimes the profit motive makes people make the right choices. The optimist in me says that people at TB care for their customers and want to give them the best. The truth probably lies somewhere in between.
Oh no it is that simple. Diarrhea lettuce is bad for business.
Lettuce and tomatoes are both known high impact vectors for foodborne illness. So they’re going to try and minimize issues from it, regardless of what they might be required to do by law.
The Trump admin on the other hand doesn’t like science, across the board. So they’ve been killing everything they can wherever they can, including the nationwide testing for this specific bacteria last year.
Hail corporate.
Went to chipotle and I got the trumps
Can’t die from Taco Bell if you don’t go to Taco Bell.
This is Hollywood, Larry.
Everyone goes to Taco Bell and everyone lies about it.
Number 15: Explosive diarrhea lettuce
The last thing you’d want on your wagon travel route is someone’s unmonitored parasite. But as it turns out, that might be what you get.
Apparently(I didn’t fact check this) the infected produce is all coming from this “Taylor farms” or whatever, so as long as you get it from somewhere else you should be okay?
Probably, but it may take a while to source new lettuce for that many restaurants.
