Abstract:
Recent events, including a multi-state E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald's, have exposed significant vulnerabilities within fast-food supply chains. These incidents highlight complex issues of traceability and accountability, exacerbated by the high demands of fast-food operations which can compromise safety protocols. This paper discusses potential solutions such as advanced tracking technologies, uniform safety standards, and enhanced inspections to improve food safety. The focus is on strengthening public health protection and maintaining consumer trust in the fast-food industry.
