Confusing Intro[edit]

did 50,000 children die, or 4?

Untitled[edit]

It's too bad that there are so few links to the discovery articles in the mid-1990's. At least one article described conditions at a meat contractor so sickening that other employees would leave the job site when the team that worked the Foodmaker ground beef contract arrived. So much of the article seems to blame Jack in the Box. 71.243.209.204 (talk) 08:31, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dates need to be fixed, article needs to be renamed[edit]

First off, even with the current dates, it started in 1992, and should thereby be titled 1992-1993 Jack et cetera.

Secondly, it didn't start on the 28th of December when Rudolph died. She first got visibly ill on the 18th/19th of December, and thusly could have gotten infected as early as the 10th of December. and while she was the first notable case, it's unlikely she was the first, especially since the source seems to be a spike in demand following the Monster Burger.

You'd have to do a decent bit of research to get the exact patient zero, but I would not be surprised if infections started as early as October, though mid November seems more likely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.174.216.170 (talk) 20:25, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
