Taco Bell removes key ingredients amid parasite spread
I have a question. If specific Taco Bell ingredients were causing explosive diarrhea, how would you be able to tell
Which ingredients? All. They all do. That's what happens at Taco Bell
Hello I ordered mine *with* the diarrhea parasite please, let me talk to your manager so they can make this right
I think the difference here is ruined afternoon vs. ruined month.
Yeah there’s a, uh, parasite. You only get it at Taco Bell. No I know, it’s awful. We’re definitely looking into it. Parasite, yup, so crazy
“Despite the temporary removal of several fresh ingredients, Taco Bell is not lowering prices on affected menu items. Customers will still be charged the standard price for burritos, tacos, and bowls even without lettuce, guacamole, or pico de gallo.” I’m not at all surprised 🤦
An old friend of mine had the funniest Taco Bell take: “Why don’t I cut out the middle man and throw this directly in the toilet.”
the jokes write themselves atp lol
Uhm.....I don't know how to respond to this.......
I feel sorry for people whose tummies can’t handle Taco Bell. (Not mocking people affected by the parasite.)
Taco bell doesn't cause diarrhea, except in people who are chronically deprived of fibre.
Everything owned by Yum! Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC heavily features that ingredient.
they say it's a feature not a bug
I worked in an ER this is a legit question
The Cyclospora parasite is raging thru the US produce industry at the moment and the FDA is doing NOTHING about it.
That just seems like the risk you take
1/4 A stomach parasite doesn't care about politics. It cares about weak safeguards. As Cyclospora cases surge across multiple states, Taco Bell is pulling fresh ingredients while investigators trace the source.
2/4 Food safety isn't optional…it's public health. Beginning in July 2025, under the Trump administration, the CDC dramatically scaled back FoodNet.
Evidently disease and death are part of Trump’s “Great” America.
I already have a couple of friends with it in michigan. Symptoms are horrid. One of my friends has been sick for three weeks. Cases are multiplying quickly. Please, stay away from fresh produce until they figure this out. 😢
Taco Bell has fresh ingredients???
First came the Screwworms and now Cyclospora, it seams to me that food safety should be the number one priority of this damned country. Beings as the person in charge of this literal shit show doesn't have a clue I hope he starts consuming mass quantities of Big Macks.
Officials in Wyoming said a contractor for Mark Zuckerberg’s tech company, Meta, flushed bacteria-contaminated water into public sewers during construction of a controversial new AI datacenter.
U.S Becoming a literal “shithole” I’m sorry. 🇨🇦
And guess what Jack Trump don't give a f*** he don't give a f*** if we all end up dead from all this shit!!
Read the entire thread if you are curious why we have to deal with explosive diarrhea caused by Cyclospora.
Another reason to avoid anything imported from the U.S. while at the grocery store.
I won’t eat any fresh fruit or vegetables out of fear of being that ill! I’ve had food poisoning once in my life but, this looks even worse than that!
The enchirito is back and contains no fresh ingredients that could harbor life
They nuke that bad boy in to 392° in a plastic container and no bacteria survives
The enchirito would never hurt me.
Isn’t Taco Bell already a laxative?
Taco Bell is scared of competition
Yeah, but does the new enchirito have the 3 olive slices of my lost youth?
I got one today. So good. the diarrhea is worth it.
Taco Bell: "We've heard your jokes about diarrhea. Not so funny now, is it?"
So, they’re just closing all locations ?
It's true. Had one the other night, and while it definitely shortened my lifespan, it was delicious
My susceptibility to suggestion knows no bounds (getting an enchirito for lunch)
RIP Neil Hamburger you would have loved retweeting this
You're gonna have a real confounding variables problem trying to pin down what, specifically, in a Taco Bell meal caused explosive diarrhea.
I'm surely not the only one who reads "enchirito" as if it were etymologically related to "enchiridion", right?
Is anybody else here old enough to remember when Taco Bell menus said "in-chuh-REE-toe" and similar under all the menu items?
Maybe I’ll give it a little while bsky.app/profile/taco...
Taco Bell has pulled key ingredients from it's menu due to possible contamination from a parasite that results in "loud explosive diarrhea 🌮 💥 💩 🚽 "We are currently unable to sell Lettuce, Cilantro Onion, Pico de Gallo, and Guacamole..." www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti... #FDA #USDA #Food
I thought loud explosive diarrhea was always a part of the Taco Bell experience, what's changed?
I mean, that's why you eat Taco Bell, ain't it?
I'm sure they're not adjusting prices for ingredients we're not getting.
If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy, you can save a few bucks on the colonoscopy prep and just eat Taco Bell.
Is the key ingredient Cyclospora cayetanensis?
Lmao talk about a shit post
Dalai Lama: “If Taco Bell doesn’t give you diarrhea, is it really Taco Bell?”
I thought explosive diarrhea IS a key ingredient.
Neil Hamburger is gonna have a field day with this.
If you can't stomach taco baco then you ain't gonna survive winter
When it comes out, does it make that bell sound?
Taco Bell is like: We're gonna make sure you'll only have regular diarrhea here.
how about you get pissed off about the fda being gutted instead
I had to throw away my underwear in the Taco Bell bathroom. That was the last time I was there. 😹😹😹
They are more considerate than our government!
🤣🤣. Both tacos cause diarrhea. The one in the whitehouse too.
yeah im no shill for fastfood but the reason taco bell makes people shit is because they dont get enough fiber and the beans blast through them. thats it. most americans get way too little fiber. Taco bell actually makes me shit BETTER Than other fast food because I am used to the level of fiber
A fellow beanhead who gets it. Thank you
Ok Fiber Man.👍 Thanks for sharing.
Vegan Crunchwrap is the damn best
Yup. I always wondered why people said that about Taco Bell until I found out so many people get way too little fiber.
Also a large proportion of people are FODMAP intolerant. Beans are just very hard to digest. I get plenty of fiber and I can't eat beans.
THANK YOU! Ffs please eat some whole wheat something or get Metamucil, shitting yourself after Taco Bell is an entirely preventable occurrence
As the explosive diarrhea parasite spreads Taco Bell has pulled key ingredients responsible for it, those ingredients are as follows: all of their ingredients
Is this how taco bell wins the franchise wars
You’d think it be an easier decision; but Taco Bell is so damn delicious and I have worse things causing me severe gastrointestinal distress on the daily anyway.
I heard those jokes for years before a TB opened in Edinburgh and I haven't once had a bad experience from eating there. Spoke to an American friend about this who'd thought she had IBS til she moved here and realised that no, as w/Taco Bell jokes, it's just that US food regulations suuuuuck.
This sounds so much like an Onion headline!!!
