Most people in this outbreak are reporting eating the Quarter Pounder hamburger at McDonald's before becoming sick. It is not yet known which specific food ingredient is contaminated.
McDonald's is collaborating with investigation partners to determine what food ingredient in Quarter Pounders is making people sick. McDonald's stopped using fresh slivered onions and quarter pound beef patties in several states while the investigation is ongoing to identify the ingredient causing illness.
