The CDC is investigating both the Quarter Pounder’s uncooked onions and its beef patty as the potential culprit for the outbreak. However, McDonald’s uses multiple beef suppliers in the region, and its burgers are supposed to be cooked to an internal temperature that would kill the bacteria.<\/p>\n
That would leave the onions as the more likely contaminant. In that geography, McDonald’s uses a single onion supplier, which washes and slices the vegetable. The company has paused its distribution of the ingredient and asked local restaurants to remove their onion supply.<\/p>\n
Based on reported cases so far, the outbreak took place between Sept. 27 and Oct. 11. Over a two-week period, McDonald’s typically sells roughly one million Quarter Pounders in the affected region, the company spokespeople said.<\/p>\n
Shares of McDonald’s are trading down 5% in afternoon trading, as investors worry that the outbreak could lead to a sales slump for the fast-food giant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
