A McDonald’s Quarter Pounder E. coli outbreak has led to 10 hospitalizations and one death, with 49 cases reported in 10 states. Most sick people ate the Quarter Pounder, leading to kidney failure in one patient and a death in Colorado. Shares dropped 7% in after-hours trading. McDonald’s is halting Quarter Pounder sales in Western states and working to replenish ingredients. CEO Joe Erlinger reassured that other menu items are safe. The CDC says the outbreak’s impact may be higher than reported. E. coli symptoms include stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting. Multiple past E. coli cases at McDonald’s have been reported, including six children affected in Alabama in 2022.
