Salmonella product homes

This week we saw a new Salmonella recall. This time the salmonella contaminated alfalfa, onion and gourment sprouts.

Several items can provide perfect media for Salmonella growth. Some of these are sprouts, peanuts, chicken, eggs. The list is not complete, but there are ways to protect yourself. Make sure that you do not cross contaminate in your kitchen or in your manufacturing operation.

Keep raw products in locations separate from processed or cooked items.

Thoroughly cook the products when processing. Make sure internal temperatures of bulk products or deep in the muscle reach the temperature required to kill Salmonella. Cook items to 165F to be sure.
