How can ecoli get in food?

E Coli is a bacteria found in the intestines of animals. When beef is processed, if the intestine is nicked and the waste comes in contact with the meat, it can be contaminated with E Coli. So, generally the E Coli is on the surface of the meat. The exception is hamburger, which because it is ground, the surface is mixed throughout. That is why hamburgers must cook to a higher internal temperature than other beef to be safe. Also, if someone has contaminated their hands with E Coli, from raw beef or other waste, and doesn't properly wash before touching other things, including food, they can pass on the E Coli to others.
