• Beef patties in Colorado have tested negative for E.coli.
• MCD had temporarily halted Quarter Pounder sales in a dozen U.S. states last week after an outbreak linked to the burgers
• no trace of the E. coli bacteria were found in McDonald’s Quarter Pounder beef patties
• the source of the outbreak is still under investigation, with slivered onions suspected
• “The issue appears to be contained to a particular ingredient and geography, and we remain very confident that any contaminated product related to this outbreak has been removed from our supply chain,” McDonald’s said
