One man has died and around 75 people have become seriously ill after eating at McDonalds restaurants in a number of US states.
All had eaten the chain’s Quarter Pounder hamburger.
Investigators from the CDC, America’s equivalent of the Public Health Agency, have had two main theories about what caused the outbreak of e-coli infection: the ground beef or the sliced raw onion served on the hamburger.
Now McDonalds states that no traces of e-coli bacteria were found in the tested batches of hamburgers and that it is ruled out as a source of infection.
The chain is now putting the burger back on the menu in the states where it was removed after the outbreak.
