operative word "may be" when i worked in research for the more probable reason for e coli, it was usually in ground foods not beef. such as lettuce (the biggest culprit) and carrots etc.. (as is going on now). cause? people workers who dont wash their hands post potty!! illegals dont wash their hands! cause their might be a porta potty with no water available.. duh... so easy to fix. gloves would work but they would have to be put on correctly to minimize any dirt etc transfer to the outside of the gloves. whose gonna watch that??..

Much easier to fix if you just deport them!
