Why Salmonella in moringa powder matters for nutrition

How infection can develop

Salmonella are bacteria that can cause foodborne illness, according to the Cambridge Public Health Department. Although the disease is usually limited to the bowel, and most infected people do not have any serious medical complications, Salmonella can spread to other systems of the body, such as the blood and bone, according to the Cambridge Public Health Department.

This may cause serious complications in infants and in people who are very old or are immunocompromised, according to the Cambridge Public Health Department. Food contaminated with Salmonella bacteria does not usually look, smell or taste spoiled, according to Food Safety News. Anyone can become sick with a Salmonella infection, according to Food Safety News.

Infants, children, seniors and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness because their immune systems are fragile, according to Food Safety News. Older adults, children, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients, are more likely to develop a severe illness and serious, sometimes life-threatening conditions, according to Food Safety News.

Symptoms and timing

Symptoms of Salmonella infection can include diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food, according to Food Safety News. Otherwise, healthy adults are usually sick for four to seven days, according to Food Safety News. In some cases, however, diarrhea may be so severe that patients require hospitalization, according to Food Safety News.

Some people get infected without getting sick or showing any symptoms, according to Food Safety News. However, they may still spread the infections to others, according to Food Safety News. Salmonella infection symptoms can mimic other illnesses, frequently leading to misdiagnosis, according to Food Safety News.

What to do if you have the capsules

Anyone who has consumed any of the recalled products and developed symptoms of Salmonella infection should seek medical attention, according to Food Safety News. Sick people should tell their doctors about the possible exposure to Salmonella bacteria because special tests are necessary to diagnose salmonellosis, according to Food Safety News.

If you bought these products, do not consume them, according to Food Poisoning Bulletin. You can throw them away in a secure trash can with a tight fitting lid after first double bagging the bottles so other people cannot see them, according to Food Poisoning Bulletin.

If you did consume these products, monitor your health for the symptoms of a Salmonella infection for the next week, according to Food Poisoning Bulletin. If you do get sick, see your doctor, according to Food Poisoning Bulletin. More information is available at MA DPH's Public Health Advisory, according to the Cambridge Public Health Department.
