A multistate E. coli outbreak linked to onions served on McDonald’s Quarter Pounders has affected at least 104 people in 14 states, with 34 hospitalized, according to the CDC.
At least 104 people have been affected by an E. coli outbreak linked to slivered onions served on McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburgers, with 34 hospitalized and one death reported, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . The outbreak, which has impacted 14 states, has led to a temporary recall and replacement of onions from certain suppliers in McDonald's restaurants.
FDA testing identified a strain of E. coli in one batch of onions, although it did not match the specific strain that sickened people. However, health officials believe the slivered onions remain the probable source.McDonald's removed Quarter Pounders with onions from menus in several affected states as a precautionary measure. Over the past week, the company secured an alternate onion supplier, and restaurants have resumed serving Quarter Pounders with slivered onions.
