E.Coli

As predicted the toxic E.Coli were from a farm near Hamberg, Germany growing organic bean sprouts. What wasn't revealed was the source of the contamination. Was it a nearby dairy farm that was polluting the farm's water supply or was the manure from contaminated animals sold as fertilizer to an organic farm? Ruminants fed grains rather than grass or hay develop these toxic strains.
