Digital Desk: McDonald's is a famous fast food chain serving millions of people across the world. Recently in the United States, 49 people were infected by E.coli and one dead after consuming items from the fast food chain. This affected 10 US states including, Colorado,  Iowa, Wyoming, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Kansas, Utah, Oregon and Wisconsin. 

E.coli food poisoning is a bacterial infection that can cause severe health issues, its history dates back to 1993 when four kids died after consuming half cooked ha burgers at Jack in the Box Restaurant. This year it was McDonald's that led to the spread of this infection and the victims being questioned revealed that most of them consumed 'Quarter Pounder Hamburger'.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) of the United States highlights that McDonald's uses certain ingredients in burgers which are making people fall ill. Reportedly in the ongoing investigation, they are trying to reveal the reason behind this outbreak.
