Since E.coli has been linked to manure, do you suppose it might have something to do with organic farming?

No. E. Coli is all through the environment. It is spread through feces, including manure. It is also spread through bird droppings, other animals, leaking septic systems, sewage spills, unwashed hands of farmworkers...any way you can think of and more that feces can get from one place to another. No farmer can stop the birds from flying over his field. The farms involved in the recent spinach outbreak were among the best as far as cleanliness and high standards go, according to our health department. And I'm saying that as one of the poor folks who wound up in the hospital with E. Coli after eating Earthbound Farms and Trader Joe's spinach salads. I will never look at a salad the same way again.

E-coli can infect any food source meat, veggie and utensils used for preparing foods and can cross contaminate.Caused by bacteria growth in fecal matter human and animal.It does not wash off veggies as it gets into the fiber and cooking veggies is not effective,Meats need to be well done and the best way to avoid this is to get all products from an approved source that is inspected by the F.D.A.

No, the news says it probably came from ground water that came from a dairy farm.
E coli can contaminate anything anytime anywhere.
Your mom told you to wash your hands after you take a dump.....why??? because it is full or e coli
We live in a country with very high health standards and we are fortunate that our food is rarely contaminated

E.coli is also in human faeces. The most common way for it to infect food, is that a human being goes to the toilet, doesn't wash their hands properly, then touches the food.

an excellent style of folk do no longer look to comprehend that animals like farm animals are ranged on land that's no longer able to generating vegetation. there are various farm animals ranches the place I stay, and those farm animals are ranged interior the mountains on rocky land that isn't in any respect produce any vegetation. no longer purely is the land too mountainous, however the growing to be season for vegetation is only too short besides.

It also happens to meat that have been ground.
That's why you should always eat hamburgers well done,
Don't you remember that hamburger scare a few years back?
