E. Coli Outbreak Linked to McDonald’s Onions Results in Nationwide Concern

McDonald’s has identified slivered onions as the likely source of an E. Coli outbreak that has affected at least 49 people across 10 states and resulted in one death.

The outbreak has been traced back to Taylor Farms, a California-based produce company. This discovery has prompted McDonald’s to remove quarter-pound hamburgers from several outlets.

Federal health officials report that the outbreak has led to the hospitalization of at least ten individuals, including a child who suffered severe kidney complications from the infection. The reported illnesses occurred between September 27 and October 11, with symptoms such as fever, vomiting, and bloody diarrhoea developing within one to two days after exposure.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that the strain involved, E. Coli O157, produces a potent toxin. Annually, this bacterium causes about 74,000 infections, over 2,000 hospitalizations, and 61 deaths in the United States.

In response, other fast-food chains like Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, and Burger King have also withdrawn onions from their menus. Yum Brands, which operates Taco Bell and KFC, has ceased using fresh onions at certain locations, though it has not confirmed if it shares a supplier with McDonald’s.

Taylor Farms has recalled certain yellow onions due to potential E. Coli risks, although US Foods, a major distributor, stated that its recall does not affect any McDonald’s products.

While the FDA has yet to announce a formal investigation into Taylor Farms, a spokesperson stated that the agency is exploring all potential sources of the outbreak.

Additionally, a man from Greeley, Colorado, has filed a lawsuit against McDonald’s after contracting an E. Coli infection associated with the outbreak.
