News summary

The CDC has reported that the E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounders has grown to 90 confirmed cases, with one death and 27 hospitalizations, including two severe cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome. The outbreak, first identified on October 22, has affected 13 states, with Colorado reporting the highest number of infections at 29. Investigations suggest that slivered onions supplied by Taylor Farms are the likely source of the contamination, leading to a recall of affected onion products. McDonald’s has temporarily removed Quarter Pounders from affected restaurants but plans to resume sales without onions. The CDC has stated that the risk to the public is very low, as the contaminated onions were removed from service before most illnesses were reported. Health officials emphasize that symptoms from E. coli can appear several days after consumption, and many cases may go unreported as most individuals recover without testing.
