On October 24, 2024, Yum Brands announced it would remove fresh onions from select Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and KFC restaurants as a precautionary measure. This action followed an E.coli outbreak tied to McDonald's Quarter Pounder hamburgers.
The E.coli outbreak was linked to onions supplied by California-based Taylor Farms, which also provides products to other restaurant suppliers. Yum Brands did not specify the exact number of restaurants affected by this measure.
A spokesperson for Yum Brands stated the company would continue to monitor supplier and regulatory guidance to ensure food safety and quality. This move reflects a proactive approach to public health concerns within the fast-food industry.
