Escherichia coli is a bacterium that naturally lives in the intestines of healthy animals and humans, however, there are strains of E. coli, specifically O157:H7, that cause food poisoning. Feces can contaminate food with E. coli through runoff and improper sterilization. Water, raw vegetables, undercooked ground beef, and unpasteurized milk are the most common E. coli offenders. Cute gift for doctors or foodies!
