Are hydroponic systems vulnerable to contamination like soil-based farms?

I've been reading about the benefits of hydroponics but I'm still skeptical about the risks. I mean, what if someone uses a contaminated nutrient solution? Wouldn't that be a disaster for the entire crop? I've heard of cases like the 1993 FDA peanut butter contamination that caused major recalls... couldn't that happen with hydroponics too? Doesn't it kinda defeat the purpose of growing without soil if you're still gonna have to worry about waterborne pathogens? Anyone got thoughts on this?
