FDA finds multiple health violations at Colorado Springs-based food processing facility linked to fatal E. coli outbreak

The investigation into the outbreak found a second strain of E. coli.

Inspectors say the Colorado Springs facility linked to an outbreak of E. coli in onions on McDonald’s Quarter Pounders had a number of health violations. That’s according to a newly released report from the federal Food and Drug Administration.

The October 2024 outbreak sickened at least 49 people nationwide, most of whom were in Colorado. One resident of Mesa County died as a result of the bacterial infection, and one Colorado Springs woman is suing the fast-food giant after she and her daughter contracted E. coli after eating at their local McDonald’s.
