Health officials have revealed that the restaurant chain linked to a salmonella outbreak in the United States is Taco Bell.
Sixty-eight people fell ill during the outbreak last October, including 34 who required hospital care.
It is still not clear what product may have caused the outbreak but officials say contamination likely occurred before the product reached the restaurants.
Taco Bell told ABC News, in a statement, that it takes food quality and safety very seriously.
