Food alert for salmonella risk

Salmonella is a genus of bacteria responsible for one of the gastrointestinal infections most common: the salmonellosis. The risk of contracting this infection is associated with the ingestion of contaminated food during handling. Foods of poultry origin, pork, fish, crustaceans, molluscs, milk, eggs, creams, confectionery, ice cream, fruit and vegetables are the cause of salmonellosis.

THE salmonella symptoms are: diarrhea, fever, nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting. They occur 12-36 hours after ingesting food contaminated by the bacterium.

Food contamination can occur at the time of production and preparation and after cooking, due to the use of unhygienic utensils or because they are contaminated by dirty hands.

It is enough for a person with a small hand injury to inadvertently touch the feces of a pet carrying salmonellosis.

How long does salmonellosis last? The infection clears up within 4-7 days. The subjects most at risk are infants, the elderly and immunosuppressed who may need hospitalization.
