Salmonella

Where can these bacteria be found?

Salmonella can be found in raw or undercooked eggs, raw milk, contaminated water, and raw or undercooked meats.

Incubation period:

Define the incubation period:

 - The period over which eggs, cells etc. are incubated.

 - The period between exposure to an infection and the appearance of the first symptoms

Salmonella has an incubation period of 6 - 72 hours and can last for 14 days after exposure.

How could you lower the risk with salmonella?

- Avoid eating raw or undercooked eggs, undercooked ground beef or poultry,  and unpasteurized milk.

- Keep food properly refrigerated before cooking.

- Clean hands with soap and warm water before handling with food.

- Separate cooked foods with ready-to-eat foods.

How did we avoid Salmonella in the kitchen, whilst making breakfast muffins?

We avoided this by, cleaning our hands, don't cross-contaminate foods, such as using a green board for cutting meat.
