      The article says it was slivered onions from a single supplier servicing 3 distribution centers in and around Colorado and Nebraska.

      FWIW it’s probably not the burger meat, more likely some uncooked produce item like onions or lettuce. If it was the burger meat, it wouldn’t be exclusive to the quarter pounder.

        Burger patties for the Quarter pounder are not frozen unlike the patties for the smaller burgers. It could be the meat.

          Unless something has changed, “1:4 meat” comes shipped frozen in big boxes just like “1:10 meat”. I don’t think I’ve ever seen fresh not frozen burger at a McDonald’s.

          Sir, this isn’t a Wendy’s :D

            They are kept unfrozen next to the grill, unlike the regular patties that remain frozen. It is not the same, even if they are shipped the same. My point being, if its not the patties then what is it? The onions/pickles are on other sandwiches as well so its unlikely to be completely unrelated to how the burgers are handled.

      Not just that: it’s only one specific strain of E.Coli that does it and you also have to undercook the burger. Imagine how much cooked, otherwise safe shit is in the average burger

      Note: I’m going to get a burger
