Best Answer

The safety hazard occurs when the E. coli are ground up with the hamburger, and the meat is not cooked at temperatures high enough to destroy the bacteria.

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.
