E. Coli Outbreak Tied to McDonald's Quarter Pounders After Trump Visit

A day after former President Trump visited a McDonald's during a campaign stop, the CDC announced an E. coli outbreak linked to the chain's Quarter Pounders, leading to one death and 10 hospitalizations. The outbreak has affected 49 people across 10 states, with most cases in Colorado and Nebraska(not where president Trump was)... McDonald's has pulled onions and beef patties in affected areas.

The news caused $McDonald's (MCD.US)$ shares to drop 10% in after-hours trading, though they partially recovered. McDonald's reiterated its non-political stance, stating that Trump's visit was handled locally by a franchise.
