Food poisoning from Taco Bell

On saturday afternoon, July 23rd,2011, my girlfriend and I had lunch at the store in Aliquippa,PA. This store plays horrible music in the lobby, forcing us to make our meal a "to-go". Unfortunately, both of us suffered food poisoning from our taco bell food. It was the only food we had consumed that day. Our only consumption that same evening was a bottled water each. This bout with food poisoning was especially painful and horrendous for me as I am still recovering from a traumatic brain injury. The dizziness brought on by the sickness was incredibly painful and scarey.

We would like this store to be carefully reviewed by a regional manager. The loud and terrible music in the lobby is horrifying, dining in is not an option. This was the only time we have gotten sick from the food at this location, but how can we be sure that they are following proper procedures consistently? This incident has angered me greatly, as I have an appointment with a new neurologist tomorrow (I'm still sick), and having illness and dizziness is going to make a very bad impression, and thereby hindering my reasons for finding a new neurologist.

My question is how on earth does having food poisoning make a bad
impression when you're visiting a neurologist? It's not like you
intentionally poisoned yourself.

Secondly, sorry that you did not find the music appealing, however
it's typically set to something that appeals to the majority of
people.

I can appreciate the frustration brought on by the "sickness" as you
call it, but I really think your letter needs more details....who
waited on you, what time of day did you visit, what did you order?
Without that type of information it's hard to place any validity to
your claim. Anyone can claim a certain establishment made them sick,
you need something to back up that claim.

also... just thought of this...


It was the only food you ate that day.



If you ate nothing all day long and then ate Taco Bell, there could be
a chance your system rejected the sudden presence of grease and spice
too.

FYI - that was only 30% actual meat. The rest was water, oats and
filler.

Did you call the store and speak to the manager? Did you notify the
respective health department? In a case where a foodborne illness is
suspected, the best point of contact is the CFPM at the restaurant or
a representative of a local regulatory authority. By the time a
regional manager can investigate, the issue may be corrected.

Even in the best restaurants, errors can occur.

You have a Chipotle only 9.5 miles from Aliquippa, PA!

If you haven't tried their food yet, YOU SHOULD.

It is incredibly delicious, makes you feel good and is good for you
too. Since we had one move in in Newark, DE, I've taken 6 other people
to it and they all LOVE it and have started eating there on a weekly
basis.

I eat at my local one each and every Thursday, travelling 15 miles to
it (and from it) after work.

I hate driving, but it's THAT good. It's worth putting up with rush
hour traffic and the crowded college town it's located in.

Anyway, here's your local store:

20024 Route 19
Cranberry Township, PA 16066

Phone 724.779.3660 |Fax 724.779.3666
Hours Mon-Sun 11am-10pm

If the letter writer had eaten at Chipotle, he likely wouldn't have gotten food poisoning by Jared C. Thu July 28, 2011 @ 1:29 PM


I dunno, a quick google search found some complaints about them too by PepperElf Thu July 28, 2011 @ 7:12 PM

Sorry you got food poisoning, but I can't say I'm surprised.

It's Taco Bell, where the meat is NOT meat and the quality of the
ingredients is just over that of items you might pull out of your
local dumpster.

The best advice I can give you is this - NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER eat
at a Taco Bell again. Their food makes people sick and it's bad for
your health.

Eat at Chipotle or Taco del Mar or Baja Fresh.

All are vastly superior to Taco Bell. The quality of their food is
unsurpassed and much of it is natural, organic and free range. You
will feel GOOD after eating at any of these three and your body will
THANK you (for one, you won't be using the toilet 10 times in a given
day, like many people have to do after eating Taco "Hell").
