Question:

Can you get e-coli from organically grown foods?


Answers:
yes...that spinach stuff was organic.

u sure can, if it comes in contact with feces of some sort. wash everything, its ok to be paranoid about that stuff

Yes. If the people who touch the food don't wash their hands ... yes.

yes

yes.

YOU CAN GET ECOLI FROM ALOT OF STUFF..... AND IT REALLY SUCKS.. I WOULD KNWO

i would think so

Only if the produce has been exposed to contaminated water.

it depends on the farm workers... the reason why the spinach got infected by ecoli was probably because the field workers probably just take shiiits where ever they want on the plants.

yeah u can get e-coli from pretty much anything, so sucks for popeye recently, he's had to put up with bruno without his mighty spinache :)

Yes.

E. coli can contaminate all foods, organic and non-organic. Many farms can get E.coli contamination from agricultural runoff. Cow waste containing E.coli can get onto a plant and start dividing. It takes a microscopic amount of E.coli to make a person sick.

Also, farm workers who do not sterilize their hands properly can contaminate picked produce.

yes, because they use natural fertilizers like manure for growing

A few years back some kids at a daycare got e coli from unpasteurized apple juice. They say it came from animal waste. Apple juice and cider are made from the apples on the ground.

e-coli does not come from any food unless the food is contaminated by people or animals.

Absolutely you can get any bacteria on organic or conventional foods.
All bacteria including E.coli need for growth is:
food source
water
temperature\
time.
The bacterial do not care if the food is organic or not.
