Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a bacteria that resides in the intestines of animals and humans.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with freezing and thawing, and is only on or in foods as a result of mishandling. For example, beef could be contaminated if the meat is butchered incorrectly or in an unclean environment (inside of guts touching outside of meat).

If this bacteria showed up on strawberries, it would have something to do with touching some time of meat somewhere along the way.

Why do strawberries rot?

Strawberries actually rot fast because of many different reasons. Just think about it, strawberries are transferred to many different places. When we go and buy strawberries from the grocery story, and take them home they last about 3 or 4 days. Many it's because strawberries travel. In the summer time we go strawberries to eat, but in the winter time strawberries are transported from places like California (where it rarely has bad weather). Strawberries also probably rot fast because when strawberries are been delivered to different places they are sitting in trucks, planes and cars to get to different destinations. That is why strawberries rot fairly fast!
