A lot of companies have tried to dodge their liability responsibilities by claiming it was an unrelated third party that is responsible.
The consumer still has a contractual relationship with the vendor, not the upstream provider.
The vendor is the one who should ensure their supply chain is safe, and can’t demand a stupidly low price that gives no room for safe practices.
Especially in cases like McDonalds. They’ve owned their entire supply chain since at least the late 90s.
The onions that were contaminated came from Taylor Farms, who supplies the onions for quarter pounders. McDonalds does not own Taylor Farms.
