Salmonella Enteritidis

Salmonella Enteritidis is a type of bacteria commonly associated with foodborne illness. It can contaminate eggs, poultry, dairy products, and sometimes produce. If ingested, it may cause symptoms like diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, and vomiting within 6 to 48 hours. Most people recover without treatment, but it can be more severe in young children, the elderly, or those with weakened immune systems. To reduce risk, proper food handling, cooking, and hygiene practices are essential. Salmonella Enteritidis is a leading cause of food poisoning worldwide, emphasizing the importance of safe food preparation.
