The CFIA says food contaminated with E. Coli may not look or smell spoiled but can still make an individual sick. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, mild to severe abdominal cramps and watery to bloody diarrhea. Severe cases of illness could see seizures or strokes, and potential kidney damage which could result in death.
