Follow on Google News | Watermelons Recalled After Fear of Salmonella ContaminationFears of salmonella contamination have prompted the FDA to recall seedless watermelons that were distributed in California and Texas. A food test was conducted that detected the presence of salmonella on the outside rind of a watermelon.
By: Joel McLaughlin Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause serious illness. Most foodborne illnesses are mild, and cause stomach flu like symptoms. However, certain individuals can be made severely ill by food poisoning. Timco Worldwide stresses that as a precaution, consumers should thoroughly wash the outside rinds of any fruit, regardless of whether it has the UPC code being recalled. Another recent salmonella scare involved french fries. In Grand Forks, ND the Simplot plant had a scare and stopped production on one of the french fry lines, but tested further and found that salmonella was not present. Production on that line was stopped for about a day and a half. After advanced testing, officials determined that no bacteria was present. Consumers should be diligent about washing the outside of fruits and vegetables thoroughly in order to prevent becoming infected with salmonella food poisoning (http://www.esalmonellafoodpoisoning.com/ Two complications of salmonella food poisoning are Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Reiter's Syndrome. While IBS is not usually life threatening, it does cause bouts of diarrhea and constipation, and often causes chronic sufferers to require more time off of work. Reiter's Syndrome causes arthritic-like symptoms, which often last for months or longer and can be permanent. Any time you have foods in your home that have been recalled, return them to the store or throw them out. Never risk illness by eating foods that have been recalled.
