Frequently Asked Questions » Frequently Asked Questions » What Is Salmonella Food Poisoning?

What Is Salmonella Food Poisoning?

Salmonella Outbreak

Salmonella Outbreak

The most common cause of food poisoning in the United States over the past 20 years has been the Salmonella Enteritidis bacteria.

Salmonella Enteritidis causes a disease almost identical to the very closely related Salmonella Typhimurium.

Salmonella Enteritidis has proven to be adept at infecting entire flocks of chickens and spreading unnoticed. Mass production chicken farms can become fertile breeding grounds for the Salmonella Enteritidis bacteria.

The Law Offices of Nadrich & Cohen are offering free consultations to families who suspect they have been the victims of Salmonella food poisoning please call 1.800.718.4658 and speak with a Salmonella expert.

Salmonella Food Poisoning Bacteria Spreads Unseen

The Salmonella Enteritidis bacteria can spread freely from hen to hen within the flock without causing visible signs of the disease.

When you have, in the case of mass production chicken farms, tens or hundreds of thousands of chickens living together, dying together, and being processed together, a Salmonella outbreak like the one currently under investigation by the FDA, the CDC, and the USDA can become a common occurrence.

A particularly viral strain can rapidly spread disease throughout the whole food chain. Compounding the problem is the practice of distributing chickens from a single farm to several farms across many cities and states.

This practice can allow the rapid spread of Salmonella food poisoning to millions of unsuspecting consumers. The best way of avoiding Salmonella food poisoning is to make sure that everything is cooked thoroughly.

Salmonella Bacteria Survives Our Immune System

After Salmonella is eaten it then passes through the stomach into the intestine. When Salmonella is inside the intestine, it binds to the intestine wall.

Once it has gained access to our insides, it is taken to the liver or spleen. For most bacteria, this is the end of the journey however Salmonella has evolved mechanisms to prevent our immune system from doing its job efficiently and killing the Salmonella bacteria.

In the liver, the Salmonella can grow again, and be released back into the intestine where it starts all over again.
