Fresh onions are the probable source of an E coli outbreak at McDonald's restaurants, sickening 49 and causing one death, prompting urgent recalls and menu changes.
Taylor Farms recalled several batches of yellow onions due to the E coli outbreak linked to McDonald's, which has removed the Quarter Pounder from selected areas.
Past E coli outbreaks have negatively impacted fast food sales, leading chains like Yum Brands to proactively remove fresh onions from menus in response to the scare.
In Colorado, fast food chains are reacting to the outbreak with caution, with Burger King and others pausing onion use until further notice, showing industry-wide concern.
