Read our privacy policy McDonald’s has officially been cleared by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control after the company’s deathly E. coli outbreak erupted in late October. According to Michael Gonda, the American fast food chain’s chief impact officer, and Cesar Piña, chief supply chain officer, the CDC’s “respective investigations into E. coli at McDonald’s have been closed.” The announcement comes after at least 104 illnesses, 34 hospitalizations, one death, and four life-threatening kidney diseases were recorded from the E. coli outbreak linked to the McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburger in 14 states, per a CDC report. But it is critical that public officials examine every possible angle, and we are deeply grateful that they moved quickly to identify and, in partnership with McDonald’s, contain the issue.” The McDonald's Quarter Pounder hamburger was linked to E. coli outbreak On October 22, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a food safety alert that recorded 49 cases of E. coli across 10 states: Colorado, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. As of October 27, McDonald’s “resumed normal operations and sales” of the menu item with an alternate supplier for slivered onions.
