People who have children under the age of 1 should be careful: This bacterium affects children the most!
Salmonella (Salmonellosis) bacteria, which is detected in packaged snack products frequently consumed by children, causes thousands of casualties and economic losses every year. Underlining that this bacterium is seen more in children younger than one year old, Prof. Dr. Mustafa Nizamlioglu warned parents.
The world took action after Salmonella was detected in 151 foods linked to chocolate products. This bacterium, which is usually transmitted to humans from animal foods, demonstrates itself with symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and fever. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Nizamlioglu, from the Department of Food Hygiene and Technology at Istanbul Gelisim University, stated that the symptoms last between 1-7 days and the severity of the disease varies depending on the number of bacteria taken and the resistance of the person.
