I see your point, but it is a matter or convience and the fact that they own them both.
As for me.. it makes me wonder where my chicken came from, or what’s in my Bean Burrito.

Personally I like another combo- The basken robbins/ dunkin donuts I see. I’m still waiting for the ice-cream filled donut though

I think I understand your concern - KFC’s main product is chicken, which has a high salmonella (among other bacteria) risk, while Taco Bell is mainly low-temperature preparation of ready-to-eat foods.
The good news is, if the restaurants follow safety protocols scrupulously, the risk of cross-contamination is very slight. In addition, most of Taco Bell’s produce comes pre-cut & pre-washed, meaning there is very little risk of contact with contaminated sinks, cutting boards, etc.
The bad news: the majority of fast-food staff are either in high school or just graduated. Despite training, short staffing and high turnover can mean protocols might not be as scrupulously followed as they should. However, should you panic? No, not really. If you consume the food as most people do, immediately, the chance of bacterial growth is slim. The chicken is being prepared at very high temperatures, and the layout of most restaurants means that raw chicken is at the very back of the house with the finished products being close to the front. The majority of fast food restaurants of any genre have also gone to a cook-to-order policy, which further reduces risk.
If, however, I’ve misunderstood your concern and you are worried about monopolistic holds on the foodservice industry…guess I’m no help there.
