$WEN $MCD $CMG $YUM Totally disagree. This is an isolated incident, more prevalent to affect "south of the border" restaurants such as Taco Bell and Chipotle. Of all places - Michigan has the largest outbreak of all the 30 states affected, so it's not even most prevalent near the southern border. Fact is, the Lettuce and cilantro supply are some of the worst offenders, from early reports. Unless you see specific incidents reoccurring from McDs or Wendy's, I just don't see the burger restaurants as part of this outbreak. Let's be honest - most people in food service don't clean greens like cilantro enough. Those type of greens - it is often straight from bag to serving line. Look at Wendy's standard operating procedures - they hand-wash and slice their lettuce at their restaurants, each morning. And don't add any cilantro.
