Taco Bell is reportedly being investigated as potential source of cyclosporiasis outbreak

Though authorities have not yet identified a responsible source, the company pulled several ingredients from its menu in some Michigan restaurants last week.

The Bottom Line: The owner of KFC, Taco Bell, and Habit Burger is selling its struggling Pizza Hut. But now the remaining brands must up their game for the deal to really work for Yum.

Longtime operator Ghai Restaurants acquired 44 locations of the fast-food Mexican brand in Houston, both to double down on the brand and to diversify in areas where costs are not so difficult.

Marketing Bites: Taco Bell perfected the feature with its Taco Tuesday Drops, and several other brands have since added their own version, offering everything from merch to free food.

The fast-food Mexican chain has created brand buzz, a strong value proposition and menu innovations aimed at driving more frequency.

Executives with Taco Bell, KFC and Habit Burger & Grill share ideas and strategies to win over consumers. That has come in handy as value becomes vital for consumers.

Taco Bell’s Butter Chicken Taco, inspired by Indian cuisine, won 65% of votes in a global contest and will debut in the U.S. as a limited-time offer.

The fast-food Mexican chain is introducing two new chicken items in the Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider and the Cantina Chicken Rolled Quesadilla.

The fast-food Mexican chain highlighted 19 different menu items, including caffeine-laced eye patches, beverages, drinks and snacks. And it did so in a made-for-streaming event packed with celebrities.
