FDA Finds Violations at Taylor Farms, McDonald's Supplier, Linked to E. Coli Outbreak with Over a Hundred Infections
Jan 11, 2025, 01:03 PM
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has identified numerous violations at Taylor Farms, a supplier for McDonald's, in connection with a deadly E. coli outbreak. This outbreak, linked to contaminated onions used in McDonald's Quarter Pounders, resulted in over a hundred reported infections and prompted a sweeping recall of the affected onions. Inspections revealed serious issues at the Colorado-based facility, including the presence of biofilm and debris, improper use of handwashing sinks, and cleaning chemicals contaminating food. The FDA's findings underscore significant lapses in food safety protocols at the supplier.
