[agent006140]

One dead,49 sick,mostly in Coralado and Nebraska.
McDonald traces it to the siivered onion in the quarter pounder

shouldn't make light of illness, but someone said when Trump made his appearance that a McDonalds scandal would surely follow.

Okay, timings might not dovetail but.....

McDonald thinks it could be just the onion from one single supplier,if the meat is contaminated,then they have to recall all the beef items.

sad to see of the death but sickess happens here and there from prepared food items - seems to be affecting more states: http://fortune.com/2024/10/22/mcdona...contamination/

It covers ten states,so 1 death and 49 sick sounds low.
All fast food restaurants can have e coli problem,these days restaurants business is slow,so they could have some problem too.
I dont find restaurant food any better than what I prepare at home,it is safer to eat at home and I dont have to leave a tip!
Barber chicken cordon blue,broccoli stuffing,you can buy them in supermarket.

Home prepared is best and more controlled ...just takes time

The Califonia supplier sells both slivered or whole,Burger King claims they buy whole and slice it themselves,so McDonald must have bought the silvered ones.
I amunder the impression McDonald grills the onion .

You going to go eat at McDonald's any time soon?

[agent006140]

I have not been in a Mcdonald franchise for years,the beef patty is so thin,one just end up eating all the carbos -the bun,the french fries,the milkshake/soda ,pickle,onion,ketchup,mustard.
At least you get more animal protein from Kentucky Fried Chicken,but then I understand they are not doing well,so what is left would be Subway ,Panera Bread ,Chipotle,Burger King,Wendy,Wingstop,Taco Bells.Panda Express.

A&Ws has a nice edge to their burgers

With more stores offering chicken,why arent chicken prices up?

Some stores are beginning to do surge pricing - have you noticed?

I thought they gave up the idea ,which is UNPATRIOTIC.
CHIPOTLE said they are still doing fine but its stock is tanking.

Chipotle is up 100% since middle of 2022 - short tem loss in last 6 months sure but it's a nice long hold
