McDonald's has announced that Quarter Pounders will be back on the menu at hundreds of its restaurants following an E. coli outbreak that affected at least 75 people across 13 states, resulting in one fatality. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has identified slivered onions from a single supplier as the likely source of contamination.
McDonald's confirmed that Taylor Farms, a California-based produce company, was the supplier of the onions used in the affected restaurants. The company has taken steps to remove onions from the implicated facility from its supply chain indefinitely.
