Twenty-two people, up from 20, have been hospitalized. The CDC said Tuesday that one person had died and reported no new deaths Friday.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The increase in people getting sick, which consists of older cases, was expected, as it can take several weeks for investigators to link illnesses<strong> <\/strong>to a food poisoning outbreak.<strong> <\/strong>The most recent case was Oct. 10. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI think there will most certainly be more illnesses reported,\u201d said Matt Wise, chief of the CDC\u2019s Outbreak Response and Prevention Branch. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The people who&#8217;ve gotten sick have ranged in age from 13 to 88. Most are men. Two people, one teenager and one adult, have been hospitalized with a severe kidney condition called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/ecoli\/signs-symptoms\/hus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hemolytic uremic syndrome<\/a>, which can lead to permanent kidney failure or even death, according to the CDC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Public health officials have interviewed 42 people who became ill. All said they&#8217;d eaten at a McDonald&#8217;s before they got sick. Most, the CDC said in a statement, &#8220;specifically mentioned eating a Quarter Pounder hamburger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"embed-widget embedWidget embed-widget--medium\" data-testid=\"embed-widget\"\/>\n<p class=\"\">The number of cases is likely much higher than what&#8217;s been reported, as most people with E. coli infections recover on their own and are never tested for the bacteria.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">E. coli symptoms \u2014 which include vomiting, diarrhea and a fever of at least 102 degrees \u2014 generally start three to four days after eating contaminated food. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The Food and Drug Administration and the CDC have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/health\/health-news\/mcdonalds-zeroes-onions-likely-source-deadly-e-coli-outbreak-rcna176851\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">zeroed in on the slivered onions<\/a> served on the hamburgers as the likely source of contamination,<strong> <\/strong>although health officials haven&#8217;t ruled out the beef patties used for the Quarter Pounders. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">On Thursday, McDonald&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/health\/health-news\/fda-mcdonalds-e-coli-onions-farms-source-rcna177007\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confirmed that Taylor Farms<\/a>, a California-based food producer, supplied the onions used on the contaminated Quarter Pounders. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Taylor Farms on Wednesday issued a recall on four raw onion products because of &#8220;potential E. Coli contamination.&#8221; Several restaurant chains in Colorado \u2014 including Taco Bell, Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut and Illegal Pete&#8217;s \u2014 said they had removed onions from their menu following the recall out of an abundance of caution. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The FDA said restaurant chains who received the recalled onions have been directly notified. There are no signs of any illnesses linked to those restaurants, the CDC said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">&#8220;At this point, we are just not seeing anything reported in ill people that suggests there\u2019s something going on outside of Quarter Pounders,&#8221; Wise said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">McDonald&#8217;s Quarter Pounders contain ingredients that aren&#8217;t found in other menu items: beef patties made specifically to be a quarter pound, as well as slivered onions. The chain&#8217;s classic hamburger and other sandwiches use rehydrated diced onions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">That&#8217;s why investigators have zeroed in on these specific ingredients. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">McDonald&#8217;s has pulled the slivered onions and Quarter Pounder patties in question from its restaurants in at least 12 states: Colorado, Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Because those products have been removed, the CDC said the risk to the public is now low. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It remains unclear whether Taylor Farms transported the slivered onions directly to McDonald&#8217;s locations or if they arrived through a distributor. Taylor Farms has not responded to multiple requests for comment. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">A spokesperson for McDonald&#8217;s said the restaurant chain gets its onion supply directly through Taylor Farms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">McDonald\u2019s is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/health\/health-news\/woman-suing-mcdonalds-describes-e-coli-symptoms-rcna177140\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">being sued by two people<\/a> who said they fell ill after eating there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"endmark\">The plaintiffs in the two lawsuits are both represented by Ron Simon, managing partner of Ron Simon &amp; Associates, a food safety law firm. Simon told NBC News on Thursday that he&#8217;s representing a total of 15 people who say they were sickened in the outbreak. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/health\/health-news\/illnesses-linked-mcdonalds-e-coli-outbreak-rise-75-cdc-says-rcna177260\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At least 75 people have gotten sick after eating McDonald&#8217;s Quarter Pounders linked to a deadly E. coli strain, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday.
