A salmonella outbreak linked to Taco Bell has sickened at least 25 Ohioans, 10 of whom were hospitalized.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has not named the restaurant chain involved in the investigation – the agency refers to it only as a Mexican-style fast-food chain – but officials in multiple states have said it is Taco Bell.
The illnesses are from outbreaks of two different kinds of rarely seen salmonella, Hartford and Baildon. Health officials say there's likely no continued risk of infection, as both outbreaks have tailed off.
The Ohio Department of Health helped study the illnesses, said spokeswoman Jen House, but nobody so far has been able to definitively link the infections to a particular product.
