Globe/wire say McDonald's burger linked to infections

2024-10-23 07:03 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that 10 people have been hospitalized and one older person in Colorado has died after E. coli infections linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounder hamburger in 10 states, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control said on Tuesday. A Reuters dispatch to The Globe reports that everyone interviewed has reported eating at McDonald's before their illness started, and most specifically mentioned eating a Quarter Pounder hamburger. The specific ingredient linked to the illness has not yet been identified. Forty-nine people from 10 states have fallen sick from the same strain of E. coli. Most sick people are from Colorado or Nebraska. "The 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 centres," McDonald's said in a statement. McDonald's has pro-actively removed the slivered onions and beef patties used for the Quarter Pounder hamburgers from stores in the affected states while the investigation continues. The company is temporarily removing the Quarter Pounder from restaurants in Colorado, Kansas, Utah and Wyoming.
