Twenty-five cases of E. coli have now been confirmed by the Middlesex County Health Department in New Jersey, and health officials say more are under investigation.
Twenty of the victims fell ill after eating at Taco Bell restaurants in South Plainfield, Edison and Easton.
Officials linked the E. coli outbreak to the Taco Bell franchises after conducting food history studies on 22 of the victims, 20 of whom were confirmed to have eaten at one of those three locations.
On Long Island, eight Taco Bell franchises shut down voluntarily Monday after health officials determined that two of the 14 people sickened there had also recently eaten at Taco Bell.
