The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has uncovered multiple violations at Taylor Farms, a supplier for McDonald's, linked to a recent E. coli outbreak. This outbreak resulted in over a hundred infections and prompted a sweeping recall of onions used in McDonald's products, particularly the Quarter Pounders. Inspections revealed serious sanitation issues, including a lack of handwashing facilities and dirty equipment. The FDA's findings highlight the need for improved food safety measures at the facility, which is located in Colorado.
