Taco Bell reopens in Trabant 11:11 a.m., Dec. 12, 2006--The Taco Bell operation in the Trabant University Center Food Court is now open. The state Board of Health visited the site on Friday and approved its reopening. Nationally, Taco Bell Corp. has announced that its restaurants are safe and that all ingredients have tested negative for E. coli 0157:H7, with the possible exception of green onions, which the company removed at all 5,800 restaurants. While green onions were listed as a possible source of the outbreak of E. coli, members of the University community should know that the UD location does not use green onions. As a precaution, UD has discontinued use of any green onion product in all UD dining locations. "We've taken this health issue very seriously and are extremely concerned for all those who are ill. Our company has moved quickly to safeguard the health of our customers and employees," Greg Creed, president of Taco Bell Corp., said. "Based on our independent testing and all that we know today, I can reassure you that every Taco Bell is safe and strict standards are being upheld at all of our restaurants." The company also switched produce suppliers in the region even though it has no indication they were associated with the illness. "We are not willing to take any risk with the public's safety," said Creed. |
