Ten people have been hospitalized and one older person in Colorado has died after E. coli infections linked to McDonald's quarter pounder hamburger, the US Centers for Disease Control said on Tuesday.

Shares of McDonald's were down 9.2% after the bell.

McDonald's has proactively removed the slivered onions and beef patties used for the quarter pounder hamburgers from stores in the affected states while the investigation continues, the company informed the CDC.

Quarter pounders in some states may be temporarily unavailable, according to the CDC's statement.

Took Jack in the Box and Chipotle a minute to come back from big E.coli outbreaks
I wanna say Taco Bell too back in the mid-to late 2000s. I’m not a big McDonalds fan like that but I bet you they’ll drop the hammer down on whatever supplier fukked up because they don’t tolerate fukking up the bag at all.

The health agency said the "fast-moving" outbreak is primarily affecting people in Nebraska and Colorado. It added that most people affected reported eating a Quarter Pounder hamburger.

In an internal message published to the company's website on Tuesday, Cesar Piña, McDonald's North America chief supply chain officer, said the chain is taking "swift and decisive" action in response to the outbreak. The statement said the illnesses may be linked to slivered onions used in the Quarter Pounders, which are sourced by a single supplier that serves three distribution centers.

McDonald's is temporarily removing the burgers from restaurants in Colorado, Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, and parts of Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oklahoma, the statement said.
