As of Oct. 24, 75 cases have been reported across 13 states, with a majority concentrated in Colorado, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One person — a resident of Mesa County — has died from the outbreak, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) confirmed.
McDonald’s claims the slivered onions procured from the Taylor Farms facility in Colorado Springs are the “likely source of contamination.” However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it is “using all available tools to confirm if onions are the source of this outbreak.”
