Summary

Nutrition label

77% Informative

Dozens of people have been sickened with E. coli from eating McDonald’s Quarter Pounders and one person has died.

59 people were hospitalized and 10 died in a listeria outbreak linked to sliced deli meat; 93 people across about a dozen states were infected with salmonella from eggs.

Health experts carefully track outbreaks of each to limit harm.

Temperatures inside fridges should be 40 degrees or below, and freezers at 0 degrees . Also, make sure to use ready-to-eat refrigerated foods before the “Use By” date listed on packaging, because listeria has more chance to grow the longer it’s stored in the fridge. Also, clean refrigerators regularly..
