food not cooked good enough
We need to separate raw food from cooked food (mainly meat) because we could be infected by the bacterie E coli
E coli is found in the intestines of humans and animals. If beef is contaminated then it can cause food poisoning. E coli becomes harmless to dangerous when beef or unpasteurised milk is not treated or cooked properly.
Keeping raw and cooked foods (mostly meats) separate limits the chance of contamination by bacteria such as E. coli.
You do not know if a given sample of hamburger meat contains e coli, but you do know that if e coli is present, you can kill it by proper cooking; if the meat is undercooked, it may have e coli which will survive the inadequate cooking process and may cause food poisoning.
E. coli can contaminate beef during processing or handling, leading to foodborne illnesses if the meat is not cooked to a safe temperature. Ingesting E. coli through contaminated beef can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting. It is important to cook beef thoroughly and practice proper food safety measures to reduce the risk of E. coli contamination.
Yes, all vegetables can contain e-coli if they come in contact with it. In 2006 Taco Bell had to pull all its onions because test showed they were infected. With the spread of CAFOs and commercial farming e-coli in are food has become extremely common.
The lac operon is switched on so the E. coli can use it as a food source.
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.

Some foods do not need to be cooked fully, for example, tomatoes can be eaten raw or cooked - or anywhere in between. Other food, such as chicken, must be cooked completely to kill any bacteria in the flesh. The bacteria can cause food poisoning, salmonella or even e-coli.
