There have been no reported illnesses from the dreaded bacterium at this point.

Food contaminated with E. coli may not look or smell spoiled, but it can make you sick, and is even deadly in some cases.

E. coli infections are generally caused when a person eats food or drinks water that is contaminated with human or animal feces, or through direct contact with a person who is sick or with animals that carry the bacteria.

Symptoms can include bloody diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and kidney failure.
