One of the biggest providers of fast food in Colorado is involved in the reported death of one person with nearly another 30 sick, due to an E. Coli outbreak.

It's just coincidence that Presidential nominee Trump visited and worked briefly at a McDonald's, though that one was not anywhere near Colorado. Those who enjoy the fast food giant, may want to take note.

Across the nation with this odd outbreak, 50 people have gotten sick; most of them in Colorado.

In October of 2024, it was reported by the CDC and CPR that at least one of the ingredients in McDonald's Quarter Pounder were infecting people with E. Coli.

It was uncertain as to whether is was the onions or the patties, but McDonald's had reportedly stopped selling the Quarter Pounder, temporarily.

The CDC reported that the fast-moving outbreak was affecting customers mostly in Colorado and Nebraska, with 10 people having to go to the hospital, and one person having died.

Signs That You May Have E. Coli:

  • Diarrhea and a fever higher than 102°F
    • Diarrhea for more than 3 days that is not improving.
    • Bloody diarrhea.
  • So much vomiting that you cannot keep liquids down.
  • Signs of dehydration, such as:
    • Not peeing much.
    • Dry mouth and throat.
    • Feeling dizzy when standing up.

If you have these symptoms and have eaten a Quarter Pounder within the previous three or four days, you should immediately seek medical attention.
