Sometimes after a long day, you just don't want to cook. So what do you turn to? Your favorite fast-food spot. If yours is Wendy's, though, you might want to rethink getting a sandwich.
An E. coli outbreak centered in the Midwest has expanded to New York state, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Though no source has been identified, the CDC said roughly 8 in 10 people who reported their illness ate food from a Wendy's location within a week of symptoms appearing.
The outbreak was previously reported in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. New York and Kentucky joined the list Friday with one case in each state.
The CDC has noted that the number of people sickened is likely higher than the 97 total reported in the six states, and the true number could include other states. Michigan is home to most of the affected — 58, the CDC said.
