CroatiaTaco Bell has faced declining customer traffic after reports linked its green salad to a parasite outbreak causing gastrointestinal illness. In response, the chain launched a one-day promotion offering enchiladas and nacho chips for just $1, significantly lower than their usual prices. The decline in foot traffic was severe, dropping by nearly 31% as early as July 17, according to data from analytics platform Placer.ai. This drop occurred around the same time health authorities confirmed Taco Bell was under investigation for potential involvement in the spread of the infection.

The situation affected the company’s stock price, which fell approximately 9% compared to the previous week. Taco Bell did not respond to CNN’s request for comment.
