Jack in the Box

Food safety

In 1993, Jack in the Box suffered a major crisis involving E. coli bacteria. Four people were killed and hundreds of others became sick after eating undercooked hamburgers contaminated with the bacteria at locations in the Seattle area and other parts of the Pacific Northwest. The chain was faced with several lawsuits, each of which was quickly settled. A food-safety initiative was put into place, including a new mandate that Jack in the Box hamburgers be cooked well-done instead of rare as was previously done.
