E. Coli Outbreak in McDonald's food

Question

McDonalds quarter pounders specifically have been giving people E.Coli. Cases have been reported in 13 different states, with 75 cases reported. The E. Coli is likely coming from the slivered onions used in the quarter pounders and have been causing serious cases, with some victims needing medical attention.

Answer 1

This is true. First off, the source you linked is one of the most trusted media brands in the world. Second, very similar information can be found on many other trusted media websites which confirms that this story is real.

I think explaining and analyzing why The Atlantic is the most trusted media outlet will build more confidence in this answer. It can be hard to come to this conclusion, especially with a good amount of skepticism beforehand, without more of an in-depth look and how to why that is. Also linking the other sites where this confirmation can be found will help in the validity and trust of this answer confirming this original claim.

Aside from just stating that it's a trusted news source, you could also explain why it's trustworthy and include the exact sources used to come to the conclusion in the title. You answer has more legitimacy if you add how do they know it's an E.coli outbreak, where this article got their information, and how they know it was McDonalds and not 13 unrelated cases.
