The Food and Drug Administration is investigating whether onions supplied by Taylor Farms are the source of an E. coli outbreak tied to McDonald’s Quarter Pounders that has led to one death, according to NBC News.
Preliminary results from a multi-year study on Southwest agriculture found that Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations can be a factor in spreading strains of E.coli through airborne dust.
According to a new government report, E.coli 0157 illnesses during the 1998-2016 time period were most often linked to vegetable row crops and beef while salmonella illnesses came from a wide variety of sources.
