Effects of Salmonella?
Salmonella bacteria can cause illness with symptoms of fever, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
In rare cases, complications can occur. Certain populations such as young children, those with weakened immune systems, and the elderly are particularly vulnerable. Among those individuals, the bacteria can cause serious illness and, sometimes, even death.
Products must be cooked thoroughly before consumption as indicated on the packaging.
Several products were recalled in 2022 for salmonella contamination including Strauss Company's chocolate products and Sabar's Abu Marwan hummus. Both products have been declared safe since then.
