E. coli O157:H7 is Murder - So Says Miami CSI

Several weeks ago I got a call from a producer of CSI to get background on an episode that they were thinking of running.  I just finished watching the episode (click on photo below).  Frankly, most of the science was inaccurate, but the point that E. coli O157:H7 is a poison and that producers whose food is tainted could be held criminally liable should worry some of my readers.  Yes, E. coli O157:H7 is murder.

In the peanut butter case, it is murder...or at least manslaughter given the proof that the company owner knew the product was contaminated and ordered it shipped anyway.

The CSI Miami storyline is straight out of a movie, "Food, Inc." Highly recommended, but very disturbing. The movie documents the industrialization of food production in the U.S.
