It will if cooked to the proper temperature. Just cooking it 'al dente' will not be sufficient to remove the bacteria. Be certain to store it properly after being cooked.
Also, bringing the food to a high enough temperature to kill the E. coli SLOWLY will make the E. coli actually grow stronger and more able to resist the heat. So it is important to bring it to the high temperature quickly.
You should boil raw beef or chicken for a minimum of one (1) hour at 100 degrees Celsius/212 degrees Fahrenheit (at sea level) to be safe. At higher altitudes (>3500 feet or >1km above sea level) you will need to boil it longer as water boils at lower temperatures at high altitudes.
Do NOT recook or reheat meat left out at room temperature for 2 hours or longer. Throw it away.

∙ 15y agoI read that if it's cooked at a degree of 145 or higher, it will kill it, but I'm not sure how long it needs to be cooked for. D: http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/eggs.html "Proper refrigeration at 40 deg F or below limits the growth of Salmonella enteritidis and proper cooking at 140 deg F or above destroys the organism. Therefore, consumers must follow safe food-handling practices when preparing eggs."

∙ 7y agoYes. To kill salmonella you need to cook food so that the temperature in the center reaches 167 degrees F. Salmonella is the leading cause of food poisoning in the states and is found in and on many more foods than you might think.

∙ 12y agoYeah. If you eat raw chicken, you can get some bad diseases. So never eat raw chicken, and always make sure it is fully cooked before you eat it. If the chicken is completely cooked it can't hurt you.

∙ 9y agoThis is because bacteria and most microbes die at 60-70 degrees celcius. This is why food critics say to keep food out of the danger zone (5-60 degrees) as often as possible as bacteria grow at a rapid rate inside of these temps. Especially at 37 degrees this is a fatal temp for food go be at. Otherwise if you won't cook it straight away keeping it in your fridge is the best answer. I hope this answered your question, this came from an apprentice chef who is still currently at tafe just learning this stuff.

∙ 13y agoCooking any food at more than 160 degrees Celsius will kill off any harmful bacteria.

∙ 13y agoYes, by thorough cooking until very well done.

How does Escherichia Coli get into our intestinal tract if we are born bacteria free?
Through the mouth, by putting contaminated fingers, objects or food into it. E. coli generally lives in guts, including of humans.
What are the Probable Sources to E. coli?
the most probable sources to e-coli disease is eating contaminated food because that is where most cases originate from. that and maybe your mom gave you some bad cooking.
Food poisoning is caused when?
Food poisoning is an illness caused by eating contaminated ,spoiled or toxic food .More than 250 bacteria and viruses are known to cause food poisoning. To avoid this , we should follow the proper steps for making food.
What food causes e coli?
ANS #2: Any food that becomes contaminated with feces can contain e. coli. The bacterium lives in the intestines and is spread by non-hygienic food handling. In cuts of meat that are infected, the bacterium is on the surface and is killed by heat. A steak that is not cooked all the way through is unlikely to be contaminated. Hamburger, on the other hand, has the e. coli potentially mixed throughout. Vegetables can be contaminated by being sprayed with contaminated irrigation water. =========== All animal meat with the exception of sea food, has E Coli, such as pork, lamb, chicken, beef, etc. When you cook steak you are to cook it all the way through to kill of the E Coli. Plus cooking the meat through kills off the worms that live in the meat, yeah there are worms in there, if you eat the meat raw that's how you get E Coli or tape worms. Animals like wolves, lions and the like don't get E Coli from eatting raw meat because they have special enzyms or bacteria in their siliva that break down the E Coli and stop it from affecting them. A side from the E Coli, chimpanses don't get aids they have an anti-body (also a bacteria) that breaks down the disease so it doesn't affect them. The idel thing would be for us humans to take this anti-body and use it in humans to cure aids but the thing is that the chimpanses have other diseases that would cause us harm so we can't take the animals blood and mix it with ours. But it's an interesting consept to think about. something.
What are foodborne illnesses?
E. Coli Infection, Salmonellosis, Botulism, and Gastroenteritis
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.
What type of bacteria causes food poison?
Derr.... The bad kindThe most common form of food poisoning is salmonellosis, which is caused by Salmonella bacteria. Other common types of food poisoning and their causes include the following:Botulism is caused by Clostridium botulinum bacteria.Campylobacteriosis is caused by Campylobacter bacteria.Cryptosporidiosis (Cryptosporidium enteritis) is caused by Cryptosporidium protozoa.Escherichia coli food poisoning is caused by eating food or beverages contaminated with certain types of E. coli bacteria (for example, E. coli O157:H7).Listeriosis is caused by Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.Mushroom poisoning is caused by eating raw or cooked poisonous mushrooms.Shigellosis is caused by Shigella bacteria.Staphyloenterotoxicosis is caused by Staphylococcus bacteria.
What kind of bacteria do flies carry from feces to food?
E Coli
How can you tell an animal has E. coli?
Most of animals including humans have E.coli in their intestines, which is natural environment for them to live. They are even beneficial for you as they fight with alien bacteria that could cause disease through your Digestive tract.The problem by E. coli is caused when they are consumed orally (with food or water). Such contamination can cause food poisoning.Food consumption of contaminated food by E. coli shows symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain.
What is one type of bacteria you can eat?
E. coli or Escherichia coli bacteria might sometimes cause food poisoning which is found on unwashed vegetables or undercooked meat .
What are the bacteria that curse food poison?
Some bacteria that cause food poisoning include salmonella, E. coli, Listeria and Norovirus.
Is e coli prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
E coli is a type of bacteria that is present in the human gut and can cause food poisoning. E coli is prokaryotic and not eukaryotic.
