McDonald's has stopped selling the popular product in some states as an investigation into the cause of the bacteria continues.
McDonald's Quarter Pounder hamburgers are being linked to an outbreak of E. coli that has sickened nearly 50 people in 10 states, killing one person, federal health officials said Tuesday. Most sick people reported eating Quarter Pounders from McDonald's, and investigators are working to confirm which food ingredient is contaminated, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A total of 49 cases have been reported so far.
In a statement McDonald's posted to its website, Cesar Piña, the company's North America chief supply chain officer, said that 'initial findings from the investigation indicate that a subset of illnesses may be linked to slivered onions used in the Quarter Pounder and sourced by a single supplier that serves three distribution centers.
