“As we continue to monitor the recently reported E. coli outbreak, and out of an abundance of caution, we have proactively removed fresh onions from select Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC restaurants,” Yum Brands said. “We will continue following supplier and regulatory guidance to ensure the ongoing safety and quality of our food.”

A fatal E. coli outbreak has some fast food restaurants striking onions from its menus. See recall information.

Scott Catlett, who worked his way up from the bottom rungs of legal, will be succeeded by a 20-year Yum veteran who did the same.
