The recent outbreak of E. coli poisoning linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounders has resulted in at least 75 sickened individuals, with 22 hospitalized and one death. The CDC is investigating possible sources, notably slivered onions and beef patties.
Officials are focusing on Taylor Farms, a California-based produce grower that supplied yellow onions recalled for potential E. coli contamination. This raises concerns about food safety and sourcing practices.
McDonald's acted swiftly to mitigate the outbreak, removing the affected burger from menus in several states shortly after the outbreak was reported, demonstrating their commitment to customer safety.
Investigators from the FDA are yet to pinpoint the exact source of the outbreak, indicating the challenges in tracing foodborne pathogens back to their origin.
