KO Coca-Cola and the E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald’sIf you haven`t bought the dip on KO:
Now you need to know that Coca-Cola (KO) could see a decline due to the E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald’s, as the two brands have a longstanding partnership, with Coca-Cola products being served widely in McDonald's restaurants.
Negative publicity impacting McDonald's could indirectly affect Coca-Cola by reducing in-store traffic, which may lower beverage sales.
Additionally, Coca-Cola's association with fast food means that consumer sentiment shifting towards healthier options could further impact sales.
If the outbreak spurs changes in public dining behavior, Coca-Cola may face a temporary decline in demand across other food service venues, potentially impacting its stock performance.
