McDonald’s Quarter Pounder back on US menu after E. coli outbreak resolution
ai generated text
McDonald's Quarter Pounders are back on the menu in US restaurants. The decision comes after a recent E. coli outbreak, which was attributed to beef patties by McDonald's Chief Supply Chain Officer. Initially, several restaurants in a dozen US states temporarily pulled the burgers from their menus due to safety concerns. However, McDonald's claimed that no E. coli was detected in its Quarter Pounder beef patties, and the company decided to resume sales nationwide. This decision was based on negative test results, and the company stated that no further testing was planned.
The CDA Microbiology Laboratory analyzed dozens of subsamples from all the lots and all samples were found to be negative for E. coli. CDA has completed all beef testing and does not anticipate receiving further samples.
The 900 restaurants that historically received slivered onions from Taylor Farms' Colorado Springs facility will resume sales of Quarter Pounders without slivered onions.
The issue appears to be contained to a particular ingredient and geography, and we remain very confident that any contaminated product related to this outbreak has been removed from our supply chain.
