  据央视财经消息,当地时间10月22日,美国疾控中心在官网发布调查报告,称全美有10个州出现食物引发的大肠杆菌感染事件,已有49人生病,包括一名儿童在内共有10人入院接受治疗,另有一名居住在科罗拉多州的老人因感染死亡。这些患者都报告称,在出现病症前曾在麦当劳用餐,且都食用了同一款汉堡。

  目前,麦当劳正在配合疾控中心调查,并反馈这款汉堡配料中的洋葱疑似存在大肠杆菌,目前已经在受影响地区的门店下架该汉堡。受此事件影响,麦当劳股价周二盘后时段一度跌超9%。

  One person has died and 49 people have become ill following an E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounder hamburgers, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday.

  E. coli /ˌiː ˈkəʊlaɪ/:大肠杆菌

  Initial investigations have suggested that the slivered onions served on Quarter Pounders are a "likely source of contamination," according to the CDC, which cited the Food and Drug Administration.

  麦当劳美国:可能跟洋葱有关

  当地时间10月22日,麦当劳发布声明称,针对美国某些州发生的大肠杆菌感染事故,公司正在采取迅速而果断的行动,在四个州下架Quarter Pounder(四分之一磅牛肉汉堡),菜单上所有其他产品不受影响。

  The onions are “primarily used on Quarter Pounder hamburgers and not other menu items”.

  McDonald's said it would stop using the onions, and has taken Quarter Pounders off the menu at restaurants in several state.

  初步调查结果显示,一些疾病可能与用于“四分之一磅牛肉汉堡”的切丝洋葱有关。切丝洋葱由一家供应商提供,该供应商服务于三个配送中心。出于谨慎考虑,在受影响地区的餐厅将暂时下架该款汉堡。公司正与供应商紧密合作,计划在未来几周内补充四分之一磅汉堡的供应。

  麦当劳中国回应

  据澎湃新闻报道,10月23日,麦当劳中国方面向记者表示,麦当劳中国没有售卖新闻中提到的产品,也不使用相关食材,“我们严格遵守法律法规要求和质量管理标准,请您放心。”

  McDonald's China clarified on Wednesday that they do not sell the products linked to the recent US outbreak nor do they use any related ingredients, as reported by The Paper. "We strictly comply with legal regulations and quality management standards. Please be assured," the company said.

  大肠杆菌感染会有多严重

  大肠杆菌是一种常见细菌,但某些类型可能导致疾病。通常情况下,感染主要由食用受污染的食物或水引起。此外,卫生条件较差的卫生间也有可能导致细菌在人与人之间传播。

  Escherichia coli, or E. coli, is a common bacteria, but certain types can make you sick. Infections can occur after someone swallows the bacteria, often when consuming contaminated food or water. It can also spread from person to person through poor bathroom hygiene.

  bacteria/bækˈtɪərɪə/:细菌infection/ɪnˈfɛkʃən/:传染;感染hygiene /ˈhaɪdʒiːn/ :卫生

  感染了大肠杆菌的人可能会出现严重的腹部痉挛、腹泻、发烧和呕吐等症状。这些症状通常会在感染细菌后的三到四天内出现。

  People with E. coli infections may have symptoms including severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Symptoms usually begin three or four days after swallowing the bacteria.

  symptom/ˈsɪmptəm/:症状cramps/kræmp/:抽筋、痉挛diarrhea/ˌdaɪəˈrɪə/:腹泻

  大多数患者无需治疗,一周内即可康复,但有些人可能会出现严重的肾脏问题,需要住院治疗。老年人、5岁以下的儿童以及免疫系统较弱的人最容易感染。

  Although most people who become ill recover without treatment within a week, others can develop serious kidney problems and require hospitalization. Seniors, children younger than 5 and people with weakened immune systems are most at risk of infection.

  immune /ɪˈmjuːn/:免疫的
