Cause for a food recall, maybe (1,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

e coli

(Other definitions for e coli that I've seen before include "cause of serious complaint" , "Cause of infection" , "Some types of this bacterium are toxic" , "Bug that causes food poisoning" , "cause of ill-feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
