McDonald's announced that its Quarter Pounder beef patties were ruled out as the source of a deadly E. coli outbreak, but slivered onions were identified as the likely culprit.
The Colorado Agriculture Department confirmed that tests on numerous beef samples sourced from the affected locations returned negative for E. coli, reassuring McDonald's and its customers.
In response to the outbreak, McDonald's has suspended the use of slivered onions supplied by Taylor Farms, which has recalled several onion products due to potential contamination.
Health officials indicated a significant risk reduction for consumers following the recall of yellow onions from the supply chain, as several other fast-food chains also ceased using onions.
