Taco Bell Food-safety Reports, if They Persist, Could Impact Yum Brands Comps

Dow Jones07-10 23:55

1155 ET - Reports have surfaced that some Taco Bell locations in Michigan have stopped serving several items--including lettuce, cilantro, onion, pico de gallo and guacamole--in an effort to thwart a parasite and consumer illness, note BTIG analysts Peter Saleh and Ben Praente. If similar media coverage continues over the coming weeks, same-store sales could suffer for Yum Brands, say the analysts. They add that they are not aware of anyone getting sick from Taco Bell. Other restaurant operators, such as Chipotle and Wendy's, have yet to pull the above ingredients from their menu or report any issue with them, the analysts say. (grace.yoon@wsj.com)
