The Toronto Public Health unit says the culprit is toxin-producing staphylococcus aureus bacteria. 

That bacteria can usually be easily controlled by proper cooking.

One man who ate a Cronut Burger became so sick he passed out in an ambulance taking him for emergency hospital treatment.

The Cronut Burger has been famous – or infamous – for creating a meal with a calorie count of 1,500. It’s made and sold by Epic Burgers and Waffles. It's stand is now closed.
