Salmonella causes food poisoning after an incubation of about 7 days. Symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, fever and headache, which can be serious in children, pregnant women, elderly or immunocompromised.
Salmonella: risks and symptoms not to be underestimated
Salmonella, known to cause severe food poisoning, remains a risk even when the meat seems perfectly normal. Symptomssuch as diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps, often appear between 6 and 72 hours after consumption and can be particularly dangerous for the elderly, children, and those with weakened immune systems. It is therefore essential not to consume the suspected contaminated products, a simple healthy appearance that can be misleading.
Let us deepen together the essential precautions to avoid such risks during your future barbecues. Prevention remains your best ally.
What to do if you have these products at home
If you discover a product recalled at home, act without delay. The recommended procedure is to immediately return the item to the point of sale. You can often get a refund or exchange. Don’t wait To take measures, because maintaining a potentially dangerous product represents an unnecessary risk.
It is crucial not to try to “save” products affected by a recall. Even if the product seems normal, the risks of contamination are not visible to the naked eye. After the unpleasant experience of a product recalled in my own refrigerator, I became an unconditional of prudence: it is better to prevent than cure.
In summary, it is better to remain vigilant in the face of sausage reminders and merguez, because the risk of salmonella is often hiding where it is not expected. This kind of alert can sometimes seem anxiety-provoking, but it simply recalls the importance of a self-control reflex in the kitchen.
What if we all become a little more “sausage inspector”?
