Information about Salmonella – Pathogenic Germ in Food

As triggers of gastrointestinal diseases, salmonella play a significant role worldwide. Common carriers of salmonella are primarily poultry and pigs, but also reptiles.

These bacteria are mostly transmitted through raw animal-based foods, especially poultry, eggs, and pork. But spices like paprika and pepper, as well as herbs, can also be contaminated with salmonella. In most other foods, salmonella is rarely found.
