Why are we importing and allowing dangerous foods to be sold here?

The e.coli comes from the poop. Natural manure spread on the fields as fertilizer. Organic doesn’t avoid that at all.
An organic farmer would be wiser than to spread fresh manure over their fields. Manure needs to ripen for at least 6 months to a year. So yeah, buy organic.
