The U.S. Centers for Disease Control is joining several federal agencies in investigating an E. coli outbreak tied to a popular food item at a national restaurant chain.

According to the release from the CDC, the outbreak is tied to individuals that had consumed Quarter Pounder Burgers from McDonalds in 10 states. While the outbreak is centered in Colorado with Nebraska, Utah, and Wyoming also seeing multiple reports, other states have had a few reports of illnesses including Missouri, where one person has reported getting sick with E. coli.

The CDC reports that 49 cases have been reported so far with one death and 10 hospitalizations. McDonald’s has pulled several items used for making the quarter pound patties to help investigators determine the cause of the outbreak.
