In other fast food news, McDonald's USA President Joe Erlinger apologized earlier this week for the E. coli outbreak that killed one person and sickened more than 100 others in 14 states.
Erlinger also said that McDonald's is no longer working with the supplier of the raw slivered onions used in Quarter Pounders that led to the outbreak, according to comments he made to "Good Morning America."
