Taylor Farms Onions pulled from Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC and Burger King after E. coli outbreak linked to McDonalds
As of October 24, McDonald’s has confirmed that Taylor Farms was the supplier of onions that have been linked to a deadly E. coli outbreak traced to Quarter Pounder burgers sold at the chain’s restaurants in at least 10 states.
Slivered onions served on McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburgers have become the suspected source of E. coli 0157:H7 that has sickened 49 people across 10 states. One person has died and 10 have been hospitalized. One child has developed a complication that causes kidney damage, Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. Colorado has been the hardest hit state in the outbreak with 29 of the 49 patients living there. Other states with outbreak patients are Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, and portions of Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.
In addition, on October 23, US Foods reported that Taylor Farms had recalled whole, peeled onions as well as diced onions. But the wholesaler also said that it wasn’t a McDonald’s supplier and that its recall didn’t include any products sold at the fast-food chain’s restaurants.
Other fast-food chains have pulled fresh onions from their menus. Those restaurants include Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC and Burger King. US Foods, the country’s largest supplier of food-to-food service operations including restaurants in all 50 states, said the recalled onions came from a Taylor Farms facility in Colorado.
