Any other restaurant would have been closed down over this.
What?
Jack-in-the-Box was undercooking their meat, IIRC. They infected over 700 people with E. coli. Four children died. 178 others were left with permanent injury including kidney and brain damage.
They’re still around.
It sounds like McDonald’s is dealing with an onion supplier issue. Their slivered onions used in the quarter pounder apparently come from one supplier. And apparently the issue is only with the slivered onions, not the diced ones.
This isn’t a McDonald’s issue, this is a regulatory body issue, failing to keep up inspections on suppliers. Just like the listeria outbreak hitting store shelves.
I don’t mean permanently. I mean that restaurants that are identified as an outbreak for food poisoning get immediately closed and investigated. They re-open once the health inspector clears it.
Being allowed to continue trading through this is insane.

I’m not sure that’s accurate, though I’m willing to be shown I’m wrong. Certainly investigated, but I don’t think they always get closed.
Restaurants can get closed if they’re failing to meet health code standards, but I don’t think an identified contamination of an ingredient shutters an otherwise compliant restaurant.
Look at McDonald’s other restaurant, Chipotle, and the frequency with which they have to stop selling spinach because spinach suppliers have E. coli issues.
