Burger King, Taco Bell And Pizza Hut Pull Onions From Menu After McDonalds E. Coli Outbreak

Several top fast-food chains in the US, including McDonald’s and Burger King, have removed fresh onions from their menus following a deadly E. coli outbreak linked to the vegetable. Yum Brands, which oversees KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell, has also taken this precautionary measure. The US Department of Agriculture and the CDC have identified fresh onions as the likely source of the outbreak, while the Food and Drug Administration continues to investigate. McDonald’s has verified that onions from Taylor Farms were the source and has recalled multiple batches. There are concerns about whether McDonald’s beef patties may also be affected.
