E. coli in Cattle Raises Food Safety Alarm | San Diego News
Description
A shocking new study reveals that 25% of cattle nationwide carry the dangerous Shiga toxin-producing E. coli strain O157:H7 — far more than previously thought. Researchers tested over 2,000 animals across ten states and found the bacteria poses a serious public health risk, potentially causing severe illness or even kidney failure in humans. While proper cooking remains the best defense, scientists are now exploring ways to reduce contamination at the source — through feed or farming practices — to make our food supply safer.
