E. Coli Outbreak Linked to McDonald's Burgers

News summary

An E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounder burgers has sickened 104 individuals across 14 states, with Colorado reporting the highest cases and one fatality. The CDC identified slivered onions as the likely source of the outbreak, which has resulted in 34 hospitalizations and four cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Following the outbreak, McDonald's has suspended the use of slivered onions in affected states and recalled onions from supplier Taylor Farms. The outbreak began in late September, with symptoms typically manifesting a few days after consumption, raising concerns about food safety protocols at the fast-food chain. In light of the situation, McDonald's has reassured customers that it is safe to consume their food again, as there are no ongoing safety concerns related to the outbreak. Health authorities continue to investigate, emphasizing the importance of reporting severe symptoms to healthcare providers.
