McDonald's E Coli hamburger recall

[captainlee]

E coli present in Big Mac burgers sold in many western states. They have removed them from the menu. We just had other food processing issues posted this week, unbelievable.

[RichieB]

Funny within a minute same subject.

[Huskee]

Oh? Big Macs now too? The article I read said Quarter Pounders.

[captainlee]

Local news had big macs, probably wrong as usual.

[Jerod Broussard]

Cook the stinkin' meat. Geez. If Jack and the Box had cooked their burgers to 155-F in 1993 NOBODY would have gotten sick. Investigators cooked 14 patties as instructed by the company and 10 didn't even get above 140-F. The meat wasn't inundated with microbes, just too many were served medium-rare.

Course processing plants have up to 68% turnover rates, fast food- try 150% turnover. Good luck keeping that trained.


**Edit- it may be the slivered onions that were "contaminated" but I would call that "adulterated" Still cook the meat!

[Jerod Broussard]

Sid P Huskee I think the minced are rehydrated and the slivered are fresh

[Sid P]

Jerod Broussard You’re correct. I said “sliced”, but “slivered” is more accurate.

[Jerod Broussard]

Sid P the only reason I know that is the "NO slivered" on my receipt. Man I hate picking those minced punks off my sammiches

[RichieB]

Thank you very much. I'll make my own burger or anything else rather go to a fast food joint. It's got to be at least 20 years, or more. Now legit restaurants, which I have a few who make outstanding burgers and other favorites. Not disin' anyone who enjoys. I was addicted White Castle. Not at this point in my life.

[Huskee]

I appreciate how you said that. I enjoy me a couple McDoubles here & there, maybe 4 or 5 times/yr. Guilty pleasure. So many people get all high & mighty when they dis fast food, it gets irritating. I don't smoke or gamble or get in fights at the bar (like Jerod Broussard ) so let me have the vice of gooey fast food cheeseburgers!!

[Bkhuna]

I wish for a local White Castle.

I just ate at a McDonald’s on Saturday afternoon in Crown Point, Indiana. I went with a quarter pounder and a double cheeseburger. I normally get my burgers with only ketchup and onions (diced only) but skipped them. The quarter pounders are now fresh beef patties but the burgers I think are frozen. Not gonna lie, it hit the spot. When we get McDonald’s it usually when we’re either at O’Hare or on the road.

[Huskee]

Oh boy! And it seems you skated through, thankfully.

[PGH_RAM]

I'm a Wendy's guy, so I guess I'll be ok.

[Huskee]

Dave's Doubles are my favorite fast food burger, great stuff

[PGH_RAM]

Huskee The double Baconator, no ketchup, is my jam. I allow myself one every six or eight weeks.

[Jerod Broussard]

I got a quarter pounder last Sunday or Saturday. No onions. 10 piece nugget.

[bardsleyque]

I'm one of the high and mighty...
(and a beer snob)!

[DaveD]

Beer snobs for the win!

[DavidNorcross]

Good thing it was not the McRib. Wait, that has been discontinued or no maybe they have reintroduced it. Nah, it is discontinued and will be brought back in 2025 new and improved. I think......

[RichieB]

Don't wait DavidNorcross make your own.

It's hope McDonalds will have the problem cleared up in time for the McRib !!!

[Purc]

This is why I only eat the Pumpkin Spice chicken veggie burgers.

[Huskee]

And pumpkin spice chicken shakes?

[bbqLuv]

FYI, if you try to make your own pumpkin spice chicken shakes, be sure to cook the chicken first.

[SheilaAnn]

Cook the stinkin' meat. Geez.

here’s an idea…. Clean and sanitize the equipment! Geez! 🤦🏼♀️😜🤓🤯

[Jerod Broussard]

I got a metal hanger that doesn't get cleaned and yet still churns out the best roasted marshmallows.

[SheilaAnn]

Jerod Broussard dude! 😆😆😆😆😆😆
