E-coli can be deadly to pets and people. I have had it, and it is not fun. Like NoHelp said, it needs to be ingested. I would be more worried about the animals that are eating this food if it's contaminated. Always buy quality dog food, and report any cross contamination with dog food to the authorities. Our pets trust us to take care of them, as well as ourselves.

been processed into a ready-to-eat product," according to federal regulations.
The regulations do not require companies to disclose whether products contain
