The presence of E. coli in meat products could be responsible for roughly half a million urinary tract infections (UTIs) in the United States every year, according to new research.

According to scientists from George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health, between 480,000 and 640,000 UTIs annually are caused by foodborne E. coli strains.
