The cause of the bacterial toxin that sickened at least 223 people at the CNE last week was the maple bacon jam on the cronut burger. As a result, the jam has been removed from sale and further efforts are under way to find out how it became poisonous. And although the Epic Burger concession at the CNE has now re-opened, it will no longer sell the Cronut Burger. Presumably the name has been ruined for public use now and forever. The cronut, by the way, is a hybrid creation crossing a croissant and doughnut. Rather like crossing a cucumber with a zucchini. Ugh.
