The CDC and FDA have officially closed the investigation into an E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounder hamburgers, which affected 104 individuals across 14 states, resulting in one death. The outbreak was traced back to contaminated yellow onions supplied by Taylor Farms. McDonald's has replaced the onions and resumed serving Quarter Pounders. The company is facing ongoing lawsuits related to the outbreak but is committed to spending $100 million to restore customer confidence.
