Risk of salmonellosis
After contamination with salmonella in external controls in a package of the „Good & Cheap“ Nut Mueslis has been detected, both the manufacturer, as well as the trade reacted promptly. Not without reason, because Salmonella can cause a so-called salmonellosis, which is accompanied by nausea, vomiting and severe diarrhea. Although the disease is usually within a relatively short time (sometimes only a few hours, usually a few days) survived, but the course is usually extremely intense and connected with a massive fluid loss.

This is associated with the symptoms mentioned above with fever and the risk of dehydration, which often requires treatment in the hospital. (Fp)
