That’s true, however to quote Microwiki…
“E. faecium is considered a super-bug. It can colonize many organs of the body including the gastrointestinal tract and the skin, and can also survive for long periods on inanimate objects. This along with its multi-drug resistant characteristics makes it a particularly nasty pathogen.”
Its my understanding that it would survive most normal cleaning routines that the average person would use. So for those of us with compromised immune systems, this is a valid concern. And the fact that it is deliberately added to pet foods is a bit scary, especially since the general public is unaware of the potential risks.
