Taco Bell offering another $1 lettuce-free item. See new promotion

Key Points:

• Taco Bell is offering its Mexican Pizza for $1 on July 28 at participating locations, continuing its recent $1 promotions following the $1 Enchirito deal on July 22; the offer is valid in-store and via the app, limited to one per order.
• The promotion comes amid a significant drop in Taco Bell foot traffic, reportedly down over 30% compared to earlier in the year, linked to a cyclosporiasis outbreak traced to Taylor Farms lettuce used by the chain.
• Taco Bell has removed the affected Taylor Farms lettuce nationwide as a precaution after the FDA connected it to the parasitic illness outbreak, which has sickened thousands across multiple states.
• The CDC reports the cyclosporiasis outbreak has spread to nine states with over 11,500 cases this season, though the true number is likely higher due to underreporting; the illness causes severe, prolonged diarrhea.
• Despite the health concerns, Taco Bell’s $1 promotions appear to be drawing customers back, with positive social media responses praising the deals.
