On October 22, the major fast food chain McDonald’s experienced an outbreak of Escherichia coli (E. coli) poisoning in its Quarter Pounders. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported “between 16 and 29 cases in Colorado and Montana and between six and 15 cases in Utah, Nebraska and Missouri,” according to Accuweather. Other states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, New Mexico, Wyoming, Oregon, and Washington, had between one and five cases. The CDC attributed the outbreak of E. coli to the slivered onions in the Quarter Pounders, which came from a Taylor Farms facility in Colorado and have since been recalled. The McDonald’s team is working to mitigate the spread and restore the trust of their customers, as there have been over 90 cases reported so far.
