The fast-food industry is responding to an outbreak of E. coli linked to McDonald's fresh onions by withdrawing the ingredient from various restaurant locations out of caution.
Yum Brands and Burger King acknowledged the potential risk, with Yum stating it pulled onions from some restaurants without specifying locations, while Burger King disposed of the affected supply.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 49 E. coli cases and one death related to this outbreak, prompting immediate action from several chains.
As public health investigations continue, the FDA indicates that slivered onions or Quarter Pounder beef patties might be the sources of E. coli contamination.
