One of the things they either fail to point out or deemphasize is that these e.coli outbreaks are almost always due to organic farming techniques. There is no e.coli in chemical fertilizers, only in the guts of animals like cows. So any vegetables contaminated with e.coli were most likely fertilized with manure. Consider that the next time you pay double for organic vegetables at Whole Foods.
