Federal officials reported a rise in E. coli cases linked to McDonald's, with 90 people across 13 states affected. Investigators have identified a Washington onion grower of interest, as raw onions in Quarter Pounders are believed to be the source. McDonald's supplier, Taylor Farms, has recalled onions distributed to restaurants. The FDA is inspecting both Taylor Farms facilities and the onion grower. The illness risk is considered low due to the recall, and McDonald's plans to resume serving Quarter Pounders after confirming beef patties are not implicated.
