Salmonella food RECALL: Sausages recalled amid food poisoning warning - affected item here
SALMONELLA can leave a person feeling very unwell indeed, which is why it’s important to take note of whether you could be affected by the recent recall of a food product which might contain the bacteria.
Salmonella bacteria explained and how to prevent it
Salmonella infection is a food borne illness which can be caused by Salmonella bacteria. This means that should a person consume the contaminated food, they could become very unwell. Symptoms of this kind of food poisoning include feeling or being sick, diarrhoea, stomach cramps and abdominal pain, and aching muscles. A fever, loss of appetite, chills, and a lack of energy and weakness are also common symptoms.

The food itself can become contaminated at any stage during the production process, the processing of the food itself, and while cooking.
It’s also worth being aware that some foods are particularly susceptible to contamination if they’re not looked after correctly, and this includes raw meat and poultry, raw eggs, raw shellfish, and unpasteurised milk - as well as some ready-to-eat foods.

However, this meat-free meal actually led to a huge problem.
It came after the recipe instructed her to pre-soak some beans, which she did, before placing them into her slow cooker.
Returning home, she realised the beans in the pot hadn’t grown in size.
Nevertheless, Anne served some of the meal up, and took it to work for lunch.
But, having tucked into the home-made dish, she fell ill - reporting feelings of being dizzy and faint, as well as nauseous.
And, it seems that the issue may have arisen due to the woman having not cooked the beans correctly.
