McDonald's has identified fresh onions from California's Taylor Farms as the source of a deadly E. coli outbreak affecting its restaurants, resulting in the removal of certain menu items, including Quarter Pounder hamburgers, in several states. The outbreak has sickened at least 49 people and led to one death, prompting precautionary measures by other fast-food chains to halt onion use. The FDA is investigating while affected onions have been recalled for potential contamination. Symptoms of E. coli infection can appear rapidly and are particularly dangerous for vulnerable populations.
