Salmonella Outbreak Safety and Preparedness

Preventing salmonella is helpful to avoid getting sick or infected. Understanding the different safety steps can lower the chance of salmonella in every household in the US.

People can become infected by food and animals. Chicken, eggs, vegetables and pork could have bacteria from salmonella. When homeowners hear reports or food safety advisories, they should immediately keep away from the reported food.

According to the advisory, salmonella can easily spread to other people. Washing hands or bringing sanitizers can kill salmonella or prevent the risk of infection, especially when they become exposed to animal feces or changing diapers.

If you have any pets, cleaning their cage or contents will reduce the outbreak of salmonella in your house or community.

In the kitchen, utensils should be washed. People should also wash uncooked poultry and fruits. When cooking, thorough cooking of meat will kill the bacteria.
