Due to the potential salmonella risk, the Ministry of Health has foreseen the withdrawal of a type of biscuit used by a large distribution chain.
Humans typically contract salmonella after feeding on salmonella infected meat.
Humans become infected mainly by eating food from infected animals.
The foods most frequently involved are the eggs and meatand more precisely foods prepared with raw eggs such as mayonnaise and raw or undercooked poultry or beef.
In rarer cases, salmonellosis is transmitted through the ingestion of food contaminated with excrement of a carrier animal salmonella: this may concern fruit, vegetables, milk or dairy products.
Sometimes contamination also occurs from human to human, when food is prepared by a sick person or a carrier of salmonella. Salmonella can too pass from a contaminated food to a healthy food.
Finally, pets, birds and small rodents, as well as dogs and cats, are part of the important animal reservoir for these bacteria.
Another source of contamination is emerging in Western countries through new pets, in particular reptiles (snakes, iguanas, turtles), which for 90% are carriers of salmonella.
Salmonella is one of the most common types of food poisoning caused by bacteria. It usually involves stomach cramps and diarrhea that last for four to seven days. For some people it can be more serious.
In some people, the diarrhea can be severe or last longer. In general, children are more likely to contract salmonella than other age groups.
The symptoms of salmonella are vague and can be caused by many diseases. The only way to know for sure that diarrhea, cramps and fever are caused by Salmonella infection is to perform a laboratory test on the stool.
