E. Coli and raw spinach Even though the mystery of E. Coli in
raw spinach has not been solved, many scientists believe the
culprits are the dairy and farm industries. The shipper
implicated in the outbreak, Natural Selection Foods, that
packages salad greens under more than two dozen brands,

virulent E. Coli strain O57:H7 might come from waste lagoons
which are likely to contaminate the soil and water and thus
spread the bacteria in vegetables such as spinach. Usually,

feeding grain to cattle and let them graze on grass. To read the
