Taco Bell

They don't use any peanuts or treenuts but their products do contain a lot of soy. If you call the Taco Bell headquarters they will send you their most recent list of foods and ingredients in each. I don't have that number handy but you could do a search or look them up and @www.tacobell.com

It's possible it was something like tomatoes -- something she has since outgrown. We eat at Taco Bell ALL the time with no problems. Hard to say what it could have been as she has probably outgrown some allergies.

Our Taco Bell empoyees don't wear gloves. Any workers that don't wash their hands could have had peanuts at home or at work if they brought it in for a snack and cross contaminated your food.

My dd recently had a weird reaction after eating at Pizza Hut and normally eats there without problems. I'm starting to think that most of her mystery reactions are probably from situations like this.

If the concern is that they are not washing there hands, report them to the county health department after first consulting with the manager. There is not a county in the country that allows a food prep worker to begin a shift without first washing their hands.

I would worry more about other stuff than peanuts on their hands if that was the case. If 1 in 100 had eaten peanuts, my guess is about 40 in 100 went to the bathroom without washing.

How are we supposed to know if they have or not? I'm sure no one monitors the bathroom. It's not like people in this day and age are honest. No one is going to come out and say "hey I didn't wash my hands and I made your food " We can't trust anyone. At the same time we can't avoid everything. It's confusing and hard to make decisions with this allergy.
