\"hamburger-2201748_640-e1731427742435\"Due to an E.coli outbreak<\/a> that\u2019s made 50 people in 10 states ill and killed one person, McDonald\u2019s has taken its quarter pounder hamburger off the menu at around 1\/5th<\/sup> of its restaurants in the country. Federal health officials are investigating the outbreak. Within the relevant time frame the fast food restaurant had sold around 1 million quarter pounders. The restaurant believes that more people would have gotten sick had the problem been the patties; it suggested that the onions included in the hamburger might be what\u2019s contaminated.

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has linked the McDonald\u2019s quarter pounder hamburgers to an E. coli outbreak. According to the fast food chain\u2019s North American chief supply officer, the company\u2019s initial look into the problem has yielded the discovery that the onions used in the burger, rather than the meat, may be what\u2019s contaminated with E. coli. The chain restaurant pointed out that its burgers are cooked at 175 degrees. E. coli is killed when food is cooked at 160 degrees, but the slivered onions, which came from one supplier, were not cooked.<\/p>\n

To address the finding, McDonald’s has removed slivered onions and quarter pound beef patties from its restaurants in various Western states. The onion supplier, Taylor Farms, told the media that it tests both raw and finished products and didn\u2019t find E. coli. Even so, they removed yellow onions from what was produced at their Colorado facility.<\/p>\n
