posty Posted July 14 Posted July 14 https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/14/taco-bell-investigated-for-explosive-diarrhea-outbreak/ Might have to put a longer pause on those drunk, late-night Taco Bell visits ... because the explosive diarrhea parasite is starting to go national ... and the fast food chain is under investigation for a possible connection to the outbreak. According to The Washington Post ... the investigation is ongoing, with leafy lettuce as the leading suspect in what's causing the outbreak ... but that doesn't mean other food items can be ruled out. To be clear ... the investigation extends beyond Taco Bell locations ... with officials looking into various potential sources for the outbreak. More than 2,600 cases have hit in Michigan alone ... and now 30 states are reporting higher numbers of illnesses. Nationwide, more than 80 people are hospitalized. Now, lettuce point out ... investigators have reportedly noted not ALL the cases of diarrhea trace to Taco Bell customers, so this seems to go beyond the fast food joint. As you know ... Taco Bell recently removed several fresh ingredients -- including lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, and its cilantro-onion blend -- from some locations while health officials investigate the surge in cyclospora ... and according to The Washington Post, a person familiar with the national investigation said that decision was certainly appropriate. The outbreak has turned Taco Bell diarrhea jokes into an eruptive reality ... with parasites that infect the intestines, causing watery diarrhea and frequent "explosive" bowel movements ... according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As investigators continue their probe, we might need to live mas menos for the time being. Quote

SaintsInDome2006 Posted July 14 Posted July 14 <<< As of July 1, the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) program has reduced surveillance to just two pathogens: salmonella and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), a spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told NBC News. Before July, the program had been tracking infections caused by six additional pathogens: campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. Some of them can lead to severe or life-threatening illnesses, particularly for newborns and people who are pregnant or have weakened immune systems. Monitoring for the six pathogens is no longer required for the 10 states that participate in the program, though those states aren’t precluded from conducting surveillance on their own. Food safety experts worry that the move, which hasn’t previously been made public, could make it harder for public health officials to understand how common foodborne illnesses are or notice whether cases are rising. “Essentially, CDC is backing off on one of their best surveillance systems,” said Dr. J. Glenn Morris, director of the Emerging Pathogens Institute at the University of Florida. Morris, a former Agriculture Department official, was instrumental in helping create FoodNet in 1995.>>> 8/26/25 NBC Quote

Seems like the vast majority of E. coli outbreaks involve lettuce. As for Taco Bell, I've ate there once per month for 15 years and never had an issue. Quote

Most likely Whitmer and probably radical Islamic sabotage The cases are in Michigan (actually they’re everywhere) but when I go to Taco Bell I usually don’t think ‘mmmm home grown fresh local produce.’ Big Ag sells to Taco Bell. And Big Ag contributes to Trump & the GOP. They also employ all that deplorable cheap labor maga abhors while choking down their one dollar tacos & big gulps. Quote

Correlation causation arguments to follow, but: Consider the reemergence of screwworm, which can infest and kill livestock, in the U.S. in June. The U.S. Department of Agriculture lost 18% of its workforce in the first six months of 2025, according to a report from the USDA's Office of Inspector General, and the agency's winnowed-down inspection service is helping lead the response to the parasite.
