A single pathogenic bacterium is not a problem - infection requires baterial invasion to a degree that overwhelms the immune system, i.e., bacteria rather than bacterium.
FY...whatever....

So in the end it wasn't cucumbers or Spain. It was German Sprouts.

"A bacteria" is grammatically incorrect. "A bacterium" and "some (several, many) bacteria" are both grammatically correct. It was the grammar, not the science, that required correction.

In the end is where you find e coli - so it wasn't German sprouts, either. It was the longstanding human problem of keeping excrement and the food supply separated.

Hmm, at some point they need to be brought together. Just separated at the point of consumption.

Even more important, we need to immediately acknowledge that O157 is not the only deadly STEC out there (non-O157 STEC has been found in up to six percent of a random sampling of meat, and not just hamburger), an acknowledgment that — of course — the meat industry is unwilling to make. And we need to declare those other STEC as “adulterants” and get them out of the food supply to the best of our ability. The two agencies that can act on this are USDA and FDA, and both are hamstrung by budget policy (the FDA needs more money for inspection; the House wants to give it less) and, of course, by the meat lobby and its allies.
It was quite a shock to learn it is legal to use "meat glue" in the US and Canada and the story elsewhere is that now most of the countries in Europe have also decided to allow it.Supposedly in Canada at least, if it is used it has to be on the label of the meat (or fish, presumably) (I don't know what happened here; why the link doesn't show up as just a link...
