How can Salmonellosis be prevented?

0

There is no vaccine to prevent salmonellosis. Because foods of animal origin may be contaminated with Salmonella, people should not eat raw or undercooked eggs, poultry, or meat. Raw eggs may be unrecognized in some foods, such as homemade Hollandaise sauce, Caesar and other homemade salad dressings, tiramisu, homemade ice cream, homemade mayonnaise, cookie dough, and frostings. Poultry and meat, including hamburgers, should be well-cooked, not pink in the middle. Persons also should not consume raw or unpasteurized milk or other dairy products. Produce should be thoroughly washed. Cross-contamination of foods should be avoided. Uncooked meats should be kept separate from produce, cooked foods, and ready-to-eat foods. Hands, cutting boards, counters, knives, and other utensils should be washed thoroughly after touching uncooked foods. Hand should be washed before handling food, and between handling different food items.

• Always wash hands with soap and warm water before and after food preparation, and always wash kitchen work surfaces and utensils with soap and warm water immediately after they have been in contact with raw poultry or meat. • Cook poultry, eggs and raw meat thoroughly before eating. Avoid eating and drinking raw eggs, unpasteurized milk and other dairy products that are unpasteurized. • Wash fresh fruit and produce carefully if it is to be eaten raw. • Wash hands carefully after changing diapers. • Practice careful hand washing after handling pets, especially chicks and turtles.

Most people with salmonellosis will recover on their own or require fluids to prevent dehydration. Antibiotics and antidiarrhea drugs are generally not recommended for typical cases with intestinal infections.

In general, salmonellosis can be prevented by strictly adhering to the following guidelines: Practice good hygiene: Thoroughly wash hands with soap and water after using the restroom; after assisting someone with diarrhea and/or vomiting; after contact with animals and reptiles; after swimming; before, during, and after food preparation; and after exposure to raw meat products (please refer to Quick Facts about Hand Washing). Clean food preparation work surfaces, equipment, and utensils with soap and water before, during, and after food preparation, especially after contamination with raw meat products. Separate raw and cooked foods: Avoid cross-contamination by keeping uncooked meat products separate from produce, ready-to-eat foods, and cooked foods. Use separate equipment and utensils for handling raw foods. Clean food-preparation work surfaces and utensils with soap and water before, during, and after food preparation, especially after contact with raw meat products. Maintain safe
