Uncle Sal Strikes Again!
While my title is a cute play on words, the topic at hand is rather serious. Salmonella poisoning is among on the most common forms of food contamination. The epidemic of salmonella contaminants started quite some time ago with peanut butter. In more recent times, it has affected romaine lettuce, Honey Smacks cereal and the latest incarnation is Goldfish crackers. Many families consume these items believing them to be healthy and safe.
What makes this outbreak odd is that salmonella is typically associated with raw poultry as in chickens. In fact, there is a new outbreak of salmonella being passed onto humans from backyard chickens.
The good thing is that this group of bacteria which results in food poisoning is easily treatable with fluids and rest. It usually clears up on its own within 4 -7 days.
Reputable sources such as the Center for Disease Control (CDC) supply excellent information on food contamination types, sources and what one can to do avoid becoming ill.
