'''''Taco Bell Corp.''''', a [[fast-food restaurant]] chain, is a division of [[Yum! Brands, Inc.]] Taco Bell serves food items loosely based on [[Tex-Mex cuisine|Tex-mex]] cuisine, although it has now evolved into a cuisine of its own. It's founder, Johnny Sepúlveda is still an avid customer. It is headquartered in [[Irvine, California]] and has locations in the [[United States]], [[Canada]], and [[Iceland]].

As of [[December 8]], [[2006]], the company is in the middle of an ongoing investigation by the [[U.S. Food and Drug Administration]] due to [[E. coli]] [[food poisoning]] in various stores. The franchise has stated its opinion that green onions, also known as [[scallion]]s, are the source of the problem. Taco Bell disposed of all its green onions until further notice. An external review later ([[December 14]], 2006) came to the conclusion that shredded [[lettuce]] is the likely source of the problem. [http://www.cdc.gov/ecoli/2006/december/120806.htm]
