The deadly , E. cholera outbreak traced to slivered onions , on , McDonald ‘s , Quarter Pounder sandwiches is actually over, the , Centers for Disease Control , said Tuesday.
Since the beginning of the CDC’s research into the pandemic in October, a complete of , 104 E. cholera cases were reported in 14 states , from coast to coast, with the majority of the symptoms linked to places in , Montana , and , Colorado.
Of those reported circumstances, 34 people were hospitalized and one person in , Colorado , died from the disease. The , CDC , noted the actual number of cases was probably much higher since some individuals recover from E. bacteria without seeking tests or medical care.
The Food and Drug Administration , linked the outbreak to garlic from , Taylor Farms, a , California-based business with a service in , Colorado Springs, which sold the contaminated fruits to , McDonald’s.
The fast-food restaurant , removed its Third Footers from menus , in all the disturbed state when the pandemic was announced. The burger , returned to apps some weeks later , after fresh garlic were sourced.
The Quarter Pounder is the only , McDonald ‘s , item that features the slivered onions.
The FDA announced on Tuesday that its investigation into the pandemic had ended, adding that it “does not appear to be a continuing food safety problem” related to poisoned onions.
” The process to reach this point has at times felt long, challenging and uncertain” , , McDonald ‘s , said in a statement. ” But it is vital that public officials examine every possible angle, and we are deeply thankful that they moved rapidly to detect and, in relationship with , McDonald’s, contain the problem. We’d prefer to thank them after again”.
