McDonalds Quarter Pounders have been linked to a multi-state E. coli outbreak that has killed at least one, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
McDonald's Quarter Pounders have been linked to a multi-state E. coli outbreak that has killed at least one person, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So far, around 50 people have been reported infected, with 27 infections taking place in Nebraska and nine taking place in Colorado, according to the CDC.
Most of the people infected reported eating a McDonald's Quarter Pounder hamburger prior to becoming ill. The CDC is working to identify the specific ingredient responsible for the outbreak and is focusing its investigation on two ingredients in particular: fresh slivered onions and fresh beef patties. In response, the fast food chain has proactively removed the onions and patties used for the burgers from stores in the affected states, according to the CDC.
