Quarter Pounders will soon be back on the menu at McDonald’s restaurants nationwide after its beef patties were ruled out as the source of an E. coli outbreak in several states.
Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a food safety alert about an investigation into possible E. coli contamination linked to its Quarter Pounder burgers, as reported by The Dallas Express. At the time, investigators were working to determine if the beef patties or slivered onions on the hamburger were the likely source of the contamination.
On Sunday, McDonald’s announced that its beef patties had been ruled out as the source. The fast food chain will resume selling its Quarter Pounders but without the slivered onions.
