A NY taco chain is being linked to over 150 people becoming ill. Cases have occurred in two counties and it appears that a 'handful' of the Mighty Taco locations may be involved. The symptoms are nausea and vomiting. After removing suspect food, including refried beans, the number of cases looks to be subsiding.

Food Truck Provider Linked to E.coli Outbreak at Farmers' Market
Mexican food sold at a farmers' market in King County, WA (Seattle) is being linked to E. coli outbreak. According to a recent report, there are now 10 illnesses.
The vendor, Los Chilangos, utilizes food trucks for providing food. Food trucks are a growing trend, especially on the west coast. While farmers' markets was the venue in this case, I think it is important to note that this is not what one would consider as the traditional farmers' market food vendor. However, both farmers' markets and food trucks are gaining additional scrutiny from food safety professionals, because both are easier markets to enter for boding food entrepreneurs.

King County Public Health is investigating six E. coli cases that appear to be linked to a food sold at local farmers markets.
- 6 sickened
- 3 hospitalized
- Los Chilangos food service shut down
- Owners working with health department
“Through a few initial interviews with ill people, we determined that everyone who became sick had something in common – they ate food prepared by, a local food vendor called Los Chilangos,” Public Health staff said in a statement.
Los Chilangos serves food at seven farmers markets in King and Snohomish counties, operates two food trucks, and also caters events. The kitchen was told to stop producing food, as were the food trucks that used it.
