What is Salmonella?
Food gets contaminated with Salmonella when it makes contact with fecal matter. This can happen during growing if contaminated water or fertilizer is used, during slaughter or if an infected food handler does not wash hands properly after using the bathroom.
Symptoms of an infection include fever, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. These usually set in between six and 72 hours of exposure and last about a week.
