As of Wednesday, at least 104 people have been sickened by E. coli linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounder hamburgers, with 34 reporting hospitalizations.
Federal health officials have identified slivered onions served on Quarter Pounders as the likely source, with tests finding a dangerous E. coli strain in recalled onions.
Although various states reported illnesses, CDC confirmed that there is currently no ongoing food safety concern related to the outbreak at McDonald's.
The outbreak has seen cases explode across 14 states, leading to one confirmed death in Colorado and multiple hospitalizations due to a severe kidney disease complication.
