There had been 49 cases reported across 10 states as of Tuesday afternoon, according to the CDC.
Those sickened by E. coli reported eating Quarter Pounders at McDonald's locations before falling ill, the CDC said. It was not yet clear which specific food ingredient may have been contaminated, but investigators were looking into two particular ingredients: fresh cut onions and fresh beef patties.
"Out of an abundance of caution, we are also temporarily removing the Quarter Pounder from restaurants in the impacted area, including Colorado, Kansas, Utah and Wyoming, as well as portions of Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oklahoma," the statement read."We take food safety extremely seriously and it’s the right thing to do."
