   A California-based produce company was the source of fresh onions linked   
   to a deadly E. coli food poisoning outbreak at McDonald’s, officials with   
   the restaurant chain said Thursday. Meanwhile, other fast-food restaurants   
   — including Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC and Burger King — pulled onions from   
   some menus.   
      
   McDonald’s officials said that Taylor Farms, of Salinas, California, sent   
   onions to one distribution facility, which led the fast-food chain to   
   remove Quarter Pounder hamburgers from restaurants in several states.   
   McDonald’s didn’t say which facility it was.   
      
   An outbreak tied to the burgers has sickened at least 49 people in 10   
   states, including a person who died, federal health officials have said.   
   Investigators said they were focused on slivered onions as a potential   
   source of the infections.   
      
   U.S. Foods, a major wholesaler to restaurants across the country, said   
   Thursday that Taylor Farms had issued a recall this week for peeled whole   
   and diced yellow onions for potential E. coli contamination. The recalled   
   onions came from a Taylor Farms facility in Colorado, a U.S. Foods   
   spokesperson said. But the wholesaler also noted that it wasn’t a   
   McDonald’s supplier and that its recall didn’t include any products sold   
   at the fast-food chain’s restaurants.   
      
   Taylor Farms did not respond to multiple requests for comment.   
      
   Louisville, Kentucky-based Yum Brands wouldn’t say where onions were   
   removed or whether the company uses the same supplier as McDonald’s. Yum   
   Brands said it will continue to follow guidance from regulators and its   
   suppliers.   
      
   Restaurant Brands International, which owns Burger King, said Thursday   
   that 5% of its restaurants use onions distributed by Taylor Farms’   
   Colorado facility. Burger King restaurants get deliveries of whole, fresh   
   onions and its employees wash, peel and slice them.   
      
   Even though it wasn’t contacted by health officials and it had no   
   indications of illness, Restaurant Brands said it asked the restaurants   
   that received onions from the Colorado facility to dispose of them two   
   days ago. The company said it’s restocking with onions from other   
   suppliers.   
      
   Chipotle said Thursday it doesn’t source onions from Taylor Farms or us   
   any other ingredients from the Colorado facility.   
      
   Onions have been implicated in previous outbreaks. In 2015, Taylor Farms   
   recalled a celery and onion mix used in Costco chicken salads after 19   
   people were sickened with E. coli. Last year, 80 people were sickened and   
   one died in an outbreak of salmonella poisoning tied to bagged diced   
   onions from Gills Onions of Oxnard, California.   
      
   At least 10 people have been hospitalized in the McDonald’s outbreak,   
   including a child who suffered a severe kidney disease complication as a   
   result of the infection. Illnesses were confirmed between Sept. 27 and   
   Oct. 11, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.   
      
   Victims were infected with E. coli 0157:H7, a type of bacteria that   
   produces a dangerous toxin. It causes about 74,000 infections in the U.S.   
   annually, leading to more than 2,000 hospitalizations and 61 deaths each   
   year, according to CDC.   
      
   A Greeley, Colorado, man is suing McDonald’s after contracting an E. coli   
   infection. In a lawsuit filed this week, Eric Stelly said he ate food from   
   local McDonald’s on Oct. 4 and fell ill two days later. After he sought   
   emergency care, health officials confirmed his infection was part of the   
   outbreak.   
      
   Symptoms occur of E. coli poisoning can occur quickly, within a day or two   
   of eating contaminated food. They typically include fever, vomiting,   
   diarrhea or bloody diarrhea and signs of dehydration — little or no   
   peeing, increased thirst and dizziness. The infection is especially   
   dangerous for children younger than 5, people who are elderly, pregnant or   
   who have weakened immune systems.
