E. Coli Outbreak Linked to McDonald's
An E. coli outbreak associated with McDonald's quarter pounders has affected at least 10 states, particularly concentrated in Colorado and Nebraska. So far, 49 individuals have reported illness, resulting in 10 hospitalizations and one death, prompting the CDC to issue warnings about the outbreak's potential spread. Investigations suggest that slivered onions may be the source of contamination, but the origin of these onions remains unclear. In response to the situation, McDonald's has removed both the onions and quarter pounders from menus in affected areas, with the president affirming confidence in the safety of other menu items.
