Salmonellosis Prevention
When food or water is contaminated with the Salmonella bacteria, people who ingest it can develop a painful and potentially dangerous infection known as Salmonellosis. The primary symptoms of Salmonellosis are nausea, fever, and severe diarrhea. While most healthy adults can fully recover from this illness within a few days, deadly complications may occur among children, senior citizens, and people with underlying health problems.
The dangers of Salmonellosis are not a recent discovery; anyone who professionally works with food is certainly expected to know about this illness and how to prevent it.
If you or a member of your family has been harmed by a food industry worker’s careless behavior, the Illinois food poisoning lawyers of Spiros Law, P.C. can help. We’re available 24/7 with a free consultation to begin reviewing your case.
Protecting Consumers
An outbreak of Salmonellosis can be caused by a negligent farm, food product manufacturer, shipping company, or restaurant. You may have grounds for legal action if you have suffered from food poisoning because of someone else’s failure to:
- Thoroughly wash all fruits and vegetables before packaging, serving, or selling them
- Store raw meat products below 40 degrees Fahrenheit
- Cook meat for at least 10 minutes, to a minimum internal temperature of 167 degrees Fahrenheit
- Enforce proper hygiene among employees who handle food
- Raise animals and process meat in hygienic conditions
No one should have to suffer from another person or entity’s carelessness. Our Illinois Salmonellosis attorneys are fully committed to helping victims of food poisoning determine the cause of their injuries and pursue fair compensation.
