Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. Salmonella infections can be life-threatening, especially to those with weak immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy.

The most common symptoms of salmonellosis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within eight to 72 hours. Additional symptoms may include chills, headache, nausea and vomiting that can last up to seven days.

If you or a family member has suffered from Salmonella food poisoning, and you have a question about your legal rights, you can request a free case evaluation from our firm by clicking on free case evaluation, or call us toll free at 1-877-934-6274.
