The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday that slivered onions served on McDonald's (MCD.N) Quarter Pounder hamburgers and other menu items were the likely source of an E. coli outbreak that sickened 90 people.

The outbreak linked to Quarter Pounder was first reported on Oct. 22, and slivered onions were suspected to be the source of the infections.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the company have confirmed that Taylor Farms was the supplier for the affected locations, and it has since recalled several batches of yellow onions produced in a Colorado facility.
