Health officials are investigating an E. coli outbreak that has affected people who ate at a McDonald’s in several states. The outbreak appears to be linked to McDonald’s salads, including the Quarter Pounder with Cheese.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is working with state and local health departments to determine the source of the outbreak. As of now, at least 11 people have been infected with E. coli after eating at McDonald’s.
Symptoms of E. coli infection include diarrhea, stomach cramps, and vomiting. In severe cases, it can lead to kidney failure. If you have recently eaten at McDonald’s and are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention.
McDonald’s has removed the salads from their menu in impacted restaurants and is working with health officials to address the situation. The company is also conducting a thorough investigation to ensure the safety of their food.
In the meantime, customers are advised to be cautious and to seek medical help if they develop symptoms of E. coli infection. It is always important to practice good hygiene and food safety measures to prevent foodborne illnesses.
