The USDA confirmed that raw, slivered onions were the source of a mass E. coli outbreak tied to McDonald's Quarter Pounder, resulting in illnesses across 10 states.
As a precaution, leading fast food chains like Burger King and Yum Brands have removed fresh onions from their menus amid an ongoing FDA investigation into the contamination.
With 29 of the reported 49 E. coli cases originating in Colorado, Taylor Farms has issued a voluntary recall of yellow onions linked to the outbreak.
The fallout has prompted fast food chains to scrutinize their supply chains to mitigate reputational damage and reassure consumers about food safety.
