Taco Bell UK Creates Kit Kat 'Quesadilla'
Taco Bell UK has released a dessert that's raising more than a few eyebrows: the Kit Kat Chocodilla. It may sound unappetizing, but Taco Bell has replaced the "queso" part of the quesadilla with Kit Kat chocolate wafers, stuffed into a flour tortilla. The dessert is available in the UK for a limited time for 1.29 GBP ($1.58) with any combo purchase, according to Brand Eating.
Study Shows Cheese Can Enhance Your Wine Drinking Experience
A recent study conducted at the Center for Taste and Feeding Behavior in France has found scientific proof that eating cheese can positively impact the taste of wine. Its findings were published in the October issue of the Journal of Food Science, according to Phys.org. "[F]requent wine and cheese consumers from the city of Dijon" were the subjects of this study, in which four wines were evaluated and paired with four cheeses. The subjects first judged the wines using a sensory evaluation method that measured how perception of the wine on its own and while eating cheese changed over several sips. It was found that eating cheese impacted how the subjects described the wines, as well as their preference for the wines. None of the cheeses had a negative impact on preference. The subjects either liked the wine the same, or even more, after consuming the cheese.

Whole Foods Investigates Hepatitis A Outbreak
Whole Foods is currently investigating two cases of hepatitis A that stemmed from the prepared foods section in a Detroit store location. The first person to test positive for the virus was an employee, while the second person was a customer who contracted the disease from the employee. Fortunately, both were diagnosed quickly so that the highly contagious virus likely did not have time to spread, Capital Wired reported. Whole Foods advises "all customers who consumed prepared food between October 6 and October 12 to go to their doctor for a preventive check and treatment," according to a statement.
