According to officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the recent E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounders has unfortunately spread to 13 states and has affected at least 75 individuals. Out of those, 22 have been hospitalized and two have even developed a severe kidney disease complication. Tragically, one person has passed away due to this alarming incident.
Despite ongoing investigations, the source of this outbreak has not yet been determined, according to the US Food and Drug Administration. However, their focus has been on the slivered onions used in the burgers as well as the beef patties themselves. There have been suspicions that the onions, supplied by a California-based produce grower, Taylor Farms, may be contaminated with E. coli and have since been recalled.
In response to this concerning situation, McDonald's has promptly removed the Quarter Pounder burger from their menus in multiple states since the initial outbreak was announced on Tuesday. This was a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of their customers. However, the company has stated that they are working closely with authorities to get to the bottom of this issue and resolve it as soon as possible.
This outbreak has caused great concern among the public, especially with the recent news of actor Alec Baldwin's dismissal of an involuntary manslaughter charge. The severity of this situation cannot be overlooked and it is crucial for officials to identify the source of the contamination to prevent any more illnesses and potential tragedies. The health and well-being of individuals should always be the top priority and we can only hope for a swift resolution to this unfortunate incident.
