In this March 6, 2018, file photo, a McDonald's Quarter Pounder, left, and Double Quarter Pound burger is shown with fresh beef in Atlanta.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a food safety alert in connection to an E.coli outbreak linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounders.
Most people in the outbreak reported eating Quarter Pounders at McDonald’s before becoming sick but it is not known yet which ingredient is contaminated. The fast-food chain is assisting in the investigation, the CDC said. Quarter Pounders won’t be available in some states and McDonald’s has stopped using slivered onions and quarter-pound beef patties in several states. The onions, the CDC said, are primarily used on Quarter Pounder hamburgers and not other menu items.
People are advised to contact their healthcare provider if they ate a Quarter Pounder and then experienced diarrhea, especially bloody diarrhea, high fever, vomiting and signs of dehydration, such as lack of urination, dry mouth and throat or feeling dizzy.
