A McDonald’s supplier recalled yellow onions produced in a Colorado plant in response to a deadly E. coli outbreak at the fast food chain
Taylor Farms, which supplies onions to McDonald’s franchises that are the subject of a multi-state investigation by health authorities, said it was pulling products “out of an abundance of caution” and that it did not find traces of E. coli as of Wednesday.
The Food and Drug Administration has pointed to Taylor Farms onions as “a likely source of contamination” and has launched an investigation into the supplier, CNBC reported Thursday.
The Post has sought comment from Taylor Farms and McDonald’s.
US Foods Holding Corp, which also counts Taylor Farms as a client, told at least one restaurant that it scrapped its supply of onions, according to Bloomberg News.
“Taylor Farms Colorado removed yellow onions from the market produced out of our Colorado facility. We continue to work closely with FDA and CDC during this ongoing investigation,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

How many illegals who have NO personal hygiene habits are working there??
When I lived and taught in a town on the Yucatan for awhile, I ate food from street vendors all the time and never got sick. The locals pointed out to me which ones were “safe” and which were not.
There was this sweet old lady who sold fresh raw jicama slices with lime and chili sprinkles that were so yummy and refreshing on a hot day. Very dicey food choice if you go to a careless vendor, though, so I would not recommend it.
McD’s buys their onions pre chopped
Went to Burger King in Greeley CO yesterday, they aren’t offering onions either for the same reason.
It was the Quarter pounders not the BM..............
I thought the sandwich in question was quarter pounder with cheese?
It’s the quarter pounder, which uses fresh onions. Most of the rest of the menu (including big macs) uses reconstituted onions. Those are pretty much guaranteed safe, unless your batch got reconned 3 or 4 days ago, and they’re supposed to chuck them at the end of the day.
Got some poo in the soil. Oops.
So does a regular hamburger
Regular burgers use recons not fresh.
Is it too late to say... Oops! ???
But still nice to be vindicated.
It was indeed the onions not the meat.
