On the 27th, regarding the probation of the employees of M Company, who supplied large quantities of hamburger patties with potential E. coli contamination by McDonald’s Korea to McDonald’s, on the 27th, “The patty problem at the supplier is related to the so-called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) case. There is no causal relationship between the delivery of defective patties and the children affected by HUS in 2016, but it is argued that controversy has arisen that a child damaged by HUS was caused by defective patties supplied by previous suppliers.
McDonald’s said, “I would like to reveal the position of the company because it is concerned that it will create anxiety and unnecessary misunderstandings for customers, its employees, franchisees, and business partners by reporting false information regarding the trial of previous suppliers on the 26th. The case is a separate case that is not related to the so-called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) case, but it is very regrettable that it is misunderstood as having a causal relationship.” In 2016, a child victimized by HUS refers to a case in which a child ate a hamburger at a McDonald’s store and was diagnosed with HUS, and received a second grade kidney disorder as a sequel. At the time, McDonald’s was sued, but the prosecution was not prosecuted due to lack of evidence to prove McDonald’s responsibility.
McDonald’s said, “The supplier case is different from the HUS-related patties and the timing of manufacture is completely unrelated,” said McDonald’s. “Despite the unprosecution, the family who claimed the damage and the humanitarian It is an issue that was agreed in 2019 to support necessary expenses.”
