If you're growing onions in a field that doesn't have proper drainage, the water/fertilizer can actually build up in the tissue of the onion and surface washing doesn't help.
The E. Coli probably comes from the poop water the onions were soaking in.
Yup large industrial farming owned by a handful of corporations that are in turn owned by even fewer hedge funds and billionaires will cause this. Smaller farms, individually owned by actual farmers, actually care about the quality of their food and with smaller batches less people are harmed when mistakes are made. But large industrial farms? Poisoning/killing people and the small fines handed out is just the cost of doing business. A smaller farm operation couldn't allow their reputation to be harmed in this way. Larger operations have a pseudo Monopoly on the market, so if people want onions they have to do business with the people serving literally shit drenched onions.
