In a post more suited for d-listed, I came across this oddly shaped wallet while browsing an online shopping site. After many inappropriate jokes about what the taco-shaped wallet resembles, Doug, Amy and I found food safety relevance for the tacky taco accessory.
A brief history of taco-related food safety:
Taco Bell, like many other restaurants in June 2008, removed tomatoes from menus after an outbreak of Salmonella identified them as one of the outbreak culprits.
In December 2006 two separate outbreaks of E. coli O157:H7 were linked to produce at Taco Bell and Taco John’s outlets in various U.S. states. The infosheet is here.
Taco lovers can purchase the taco purse for $7.99 + S&H.
