Problem start with the harmful E.coli which a toxin called shiga toxin. Most common form of dangerous strains of E.coli is is E. Coli O157:H7 which produces Shiga toxin. There was a outbreak of shiga toxin back in 1992. That time carrier was undercooked beef. This time is E. Coli O157:H7 carrier is Romaine Lettuce
