One person has died and dozens have fallen sick following a severe E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounder hamburgers, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Tuesday. The outbreak, which began in late September, spans 10 western states, with most of the 49 cases concentrated in Colorado and Nebraska, the health agency said.

McDonald's quarter pounders tied to E. coli outbreak in US: 49 infected, one death reported

<p>A man from Kentucky, United States (US), ordered a burger from McDonald's with everything removed- no buns, no meat, no vegetables, and no sauces. In a post on X, Greg said last week that he ordered a cheeseburger&nbsp;with everything removed. "Hopefully&nbsp;they don’t mess up my order (usually they do)," Greg said as he placed the order on Doordash.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The delivery executive on Doordash messaged Greg beforehand to let him know he was getting a package with nothing inside. Greg received the sealed package with an empty box of the burger.</p>

<p>A subsequent post on X showed the burger box, opened&nbsp;like a clamshell to reveal&nbsp;that there was&nbsp;nothing inside. The only problem here was the parcel was a McCrispy box and not a Triple Burger container like Greg ordered.</p>
