REPORT: CDC blames E. Coli outbreak on McDonald’s

A mere days after President Trump's historic visit to a Feasterville, Pennsylvania, McDonald's restaurant, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced that multiple agencies are investigating an E. coli outbreak allegedly stemming from contaminated Quarter Pounder burgers.

According to the CDC, there have been at least 49 people sickened across 10 states, with 10 people requiring hospitalization and one death.

The majority of illnesses have been reported in Colorado and Nebraska, though illnesses have been reported as far west as Oregon and as far east as Wisconsin.

"Most Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria reside harmlessly in the intestines of people and animals. But some can cause mild to life-threatening gastrointestinal illnesses if consumed, the CDC says.

The types of E. coli that may cause diarrhea usually spread through food or water contaminated with feces. For instance, food handlers can spread infection when they do not use proper hand washing hygiene after using the restroom. Animals such as cattle may also spread E. coli to food and food crops."

It's worth noting that the review company Yelp disabled comments at the Feasterville McDonald's that President Trump visited on Sunday afternoon after the establishment's page was flooded with "unusual reviews."
