Please look at that list carefully and check your pantry to see if you purchased any of these products. If you did, throw them out immediately, even if some has been consumed and no one is sick. Bacteria can clump in small areas of food, and not every part of a jar may be contaminated with Salmonella.
Symptoms of Salmonella food poisoning usually start six hour to six days after a person eats food contaminated with that pathogen. People can suffer from fever, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach and abdominal pain and cramps, and diarrhea that can be bloody or watery.
While most people recover from this infection without medical attention, it’s important that this illness be noted on your chart. There are long term complications from this type of infection that can range from irritable bowel syndrome to high blood pressure to myocarditis.
