McDonald's, on Thursday, identified Taylor Farms as the supplier of onions used in the company's Quarter Pounder burgers, which have been removed from menus in several states after a deadly E. coli outbreak. Following McDonald's, other prominent U.S. fast-food chains, including Burger King and Taco Bell, have removed fresh onions from their menu items.
A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) spokesperson announced Thursday that the agency is investigating Taylor Farms as a potential source of the E. coli outbreak linked to hamburgers, NBC reported.
