A recent outbreak of E. coli linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounder burgers has resulted in one death and 49 illnesses across 10 U.S. states. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating, with slivered onions used in the burgers being the suspected source of contamination. McDonald’s has temporarily removed these onions and the Quarter Pounder from menus in affected regions as a precautionary measure.
The outbreak spans several states, including Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming, and has led to 10 hospitalizations. McDonald’s USA has reassured the public, emphasizing that food safety remains a top priority, and other menu items remain unaffected. The fast-food chain is cooperating closely with health officials as the investigation continues.
