Thread: E. Coli in Green Onions at Taco Bell

Taco Bell Removes Green Onions After E. Coli Scare

"E. Coli is found in the feces of humans and livestock. Most E. Coli infections are associated with undercooked meat. The bacteria also can be found on sprouts or leafy vegetables such as spinach. The germs can be passed from person to person if they do not thoroughly wash their hands after using the bathroom."

Wasn't there the same problem with green onions at ChiChi's in Ohio in the last couple of years? They really need to look at who is picking our food. This is become a regular occurance now. Our lives and the lives of our loved ones are at risk due to farmers using cheap labor. This is another way that American citizens and residents die or become permanently ill at the hands of illegals.

FDA is having a hard time locating the crop crappers. Wonder why?

My husband and I were talking about how we never have heard of so many occurences of stuff like this before. Not saying it hasn't happened but it was more like food not being cooked properly or left at room temp for too long. Here they are constantly pushing fruits and vegetables and preferably raw since cooking destroys the nutrients and yet the food is contaminated. I get scared to eat anymore.

iknow having contaminated veggies is bad but i am still in absolute shock that all most all candy canes/ peppermint candy is now made in mexico!!! the thought of illiterate people handling the hygiene issues involved in making anything eatable is gross! on top of that the fda admits there is a lead issue with candy from mexico... why are they not stopping this!!!

Both the vegetables and candy situation are frightening. You can't even trust the organic vegetables as they are also picked by illegals. In one posting on this website someone wrote about a migrant camp near a wealthy area in Calfornia. There was news footage about the migrants and a reporter followed them to their employers. Some of them worked on farms picking produce and the reporter actually found out who those farms sold produce to. One farm sold to Whole Foods. They contacted Whole Foods and if I recall correctly they did not want to comment.
What is frightening is how the most dangerous food is the healthiest. As for the candy, I will have to check out where peanut M & Ms and Hersey's almond bars are made. What stinks about candy coming from Mexico is the fact that kids consume lots of candy. We are exposing the weakest people to dangerous food. Young children and the elderly are most vulnerable to illness.
