McDonald's, the fast-food giant, recently hosted Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at one of its restaurants in Philadelphia, where he cooked and sold fries. Despite the event, McDonald's stated it does not endorse any political candidate. Following Trump's visit, the CDC has linked McDonald's to a severe E. coli outbreak that has hospitalized 10 people and resulted in one death across 10 states. The outbreak, traced to Quarter Pounders, has raised questions about potential contamination during Trump's appearance, although no direct connection has been confirmed.
