how big? How big is the food industry in the USA? Imagine meat processing plants adopt this light, or food logistics companies have these lights in their trailers to clean whilst transporting? or supermarkets have these lights in their food sections? The potential scale of this is immense.

The most common way to get an E. coli infection is by eating contaminated food, such as:

Ground beef. When cattle are slaughtered and processed, E. coli bacteria in their intestines can get on the meat. Ground beef combines meat from many different animals, increasing the risk of contamination. ( traditionally meat processing firms use chemicals to rid ground beef of E coli )

Unpasteurized milk. E. coli bacteria on a cow's udder or on milking equipment can get into raw milk.


Fresh produce. Runoff from cattle farms can contaminate fields where fresh produce is grown. Certain vegetables, such as spinach and lettuce, are particularly vulnerable to this type of contamination.
