SUMMARY: A deadly E. coli outbreak linked to fresh onions from California’s Taylor Farms has sickened at least 49 individuals, including one fatality, primarily affecting McDonald’s restaurants. The outbreak prompted McDonald’s to pull Quarter Pounder hamburgers from several locations and led other fast-food chains like Taco Bell and KFC to remove onions from their menus. While Taylor Farms recalled potentially contaminated onions sourced from a Colorado facility, U.S. Foods clarified these onions weren’t supplied to McDonald’s. Symptoms of E. coli can quickly manifest, especially dangerous for vulnerable populations, according to health officials.

SUMMARY: Scientists, using seismic data from NASA’s InSight lander, have discovered that Mars has a solid inner core composed mainly of iron and nickel, similar to Earth’s. The inner core extends about 380 miles (613 km) from the planet’s center and is surrounded by a larger liquid outer core reaching up to 1,100 miles (1,800 km). The study, led by Daoyuan Sun, suggests Mars’ core crystallization may still be ongoing. Despite these findings, questions remain about the core’s exact composition and structure. With InSight no longer operational, further seismic data is unavailable, limiting deeper understanding of Mars’ interior and magnetic history.
