    Salmonella is one of the most commonly reported types of food-borne illness. Salmonella is caused by a variety of different bacteria. The ensuing illness is treatable, but in some cases, fatal. Most of the time people aren’t even aware they have salmonella, they think something they ate didn’t agree with them and the symptoms are mild and disappear quickly. I believe no one really takes any action of going to a hospital or to their doctor until the symptoms worsen and become unbearable or scary for them that’s at least what I do, which I shouldn’t because instead of me finding out what problem was solving it quickly, I go through the pain and agony until I can’t take t\it anymore. Quite often, the mishandling of food products causes salmonella. In many cases, the bacterium is spread by animal feces coming into contact with fresh foods in the case of eggs, the bacteria come from within the chicken and are already in the egg before it is laid. Eggs are the most common source of salmonella. Infections can also come from contaminated dairy products, meats, and various shellfish. Undercooked meats and poultry may contain the bacteria and on rare occasion fresh fruits and vegetables can also be contaminated. Clinical symptoms are diarrhea, fever, chills, cramping in the stomach and intestine, fatigue and in some cases, headache symptoms can appear as soon as eight hours after ingestion contaminated food products. In some cases, it takes a few days for the symptoms to appear. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, most people recover without treatment. The way you treat salmonella also known as (food poising) is by managing any complications until it passes. Dehydration is most common because of diarrhea so drinking a cup of water or a rehydration drink for each large, loose stool you have. Do not drink fruit juices or soda due to the fact they have too much sugar and they are not good for dehydration. Ways to prevent salmonella are: do not eat row or uncooked eggs, avoid…

    Salmonellosis is spread to people by ingestion of Salmonella bacteria that contaminate food. Salmonella is worldwide and can contaminate almost any food type, but outbreaks of the disease have involved raw eggs, raw meat (ground beef and other poorly cooked meats), egg products, fresh vegetables, cereal, pistachio nuts, tomatoes, and contaminated water. The most recent major outbreak (summer 2010) involved Salmonella-contaminated eggs from several U.S. producers that have caused the recall of over 500 million eggs (see the unusual causes section below). Contamination can come from animal or human feces that contact the food during its processing or harvesting. New data about types of food contamination (food poisoning by Salmonella spp.) is available from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the FDA. Potential direct sources of Salmonella are pets such…

    This assignment has me going to the Weathervane Restaurant to satisfy the requirement of this assignment. Weathervane is in existence in Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. I chose the Weathervane at it has the best fried clams in the world according to me and I wanted to something that isn’t too popular like Chili’s or Texas Roadhouse. They always seem to be serving great seafood and always keep me coming, a sign the business is really consistent in their about their service. I asked specific questions about how the restaurant does things as part of my inspection. Also, it was ongoing questions pertaining to methods of approach to a particular process/step and what they plan to do about it. We began to sit down and review their food safety practices and the crucial part on why they are a staple to the operating of a restaurant. To be total objective, I had to seek out problems I saw and how they can go about things differently. As I sum up and close, I will give the reasoning why it is critical to have these policies to food safety processes. How efficient the facility runs and the broader picture of the sanitation and cleanliness of the restaurant can go based on my input to this will be discussed as well.…

    In the documentary Food Inc., food-borne illness was one of the leading themes and also gave a story to go along with it. The director’s main argument was to show consumers where their food is coming from and the beginning stage of how it all begins, before getting on the table. “The Center for Disease Control estimated that each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans get sick from foodborne diseases” (CDC, 2016). There are many types of food-borne illnesses, but the one thing that they all have in common is that it can affect animals and humans badly. It mentioned in the documentary, that sometimes companies are aware of this happening, but most of the time, it will go ignored unless brought to attention. In the film, it explained that there are 13 slaughterhouses in the US, meaning thousands of different cattle are being grounded up into patties. Food-borne illness should not be occurring, sadly they are, and the numbers are always increasing.…

    Back in the early fall of 2012, XL Foods Inc., one of Canada’s largest meat processing plants located in Brooks, Southeast Alberta, was delivering tainted meats contaminated with Escherichia Coli. Escherichia Coli is a group of bacteria found in the lower intestines of humans and animals, which can be developed by improper storing of food, poor hygiene in the facility and poor food handling practices (Christian Nordqvist, par. 1). Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials temporarily shut down the company, leading to the biggest meat recall in Canadian history. In fact, it was so big, that over 1.5 million kilograms of contaminated beef have been recalled in approximately 2,000 products within the country (Evan Solomon, par. 8). As this incident…
