WASHINGTON - Health officials on Wednesday zeroed in on lettuce as the likely suspect in the E. coli outbreak linked to Taco Bell, though tracing the vegetable's source may prove difficult.

Investigators considered cheddar cheese and ground beef as possible contaminated ingredients before settling on lettuce. The company first believed green onions were responsible, but follow-up testing by the government failed to confirm that.

Exonerated at last, though someone owes the scallion an apology--I'm looking at you under-funded FDA. And lettuce, for shame!
