Salmonella is responsible for food poisoning and results in gastrointestinal disorders (diarrhea, vomiting) that appear suddenly, often accompanied by fever and headaches. These symptoms generally occur 6 to 72 hours after consuming contaminated products. They may be more pronounced in young children, pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals and the elderly.
If you have consumed this product and present these symptoms, consult your doctor and report this consumption. If there are no symptoms within 7 days after consuming the affected products, there is no need to worry and consult your doctor. If the product is cooked at + 65°C, this destroys these bacteria and prevents the consequences of such contamination.
