Danny Meyer, founder of Shake Shack, is responding to the allegations that a burger from his famous chain was the source of Philadelphia Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg and Mets first baseman Lucas Duda's bout with food poisoning. Meyer responded by telling the New York Post, "It's highly unlikely. … If you're in a restaurant and one person says they got food poisoning from fish, you can say, 'Well, that was probably one bad fish.' But with hamburger meat, it's an entire batch. And we haven't heard of one other case of food poisoning." Right now Shake Shack is doing their due diligence and gathering more facts, but currently believe that their burgers were not at the source of the foodborne illnesses that occurred. "We're trying everything we can to take this as earnestly as possible," Meyer told the Post.
