The Ferrero scandal
A few months ago, the famous Ferrero chocolate companywhich as we know also produces important food products for children, closed the plant in Belgium for salmonella.
The thing was about some Kinder productsafter at least 300 people have been attacked by the salmonella virus after their consumption.
The company also announced the stop in Italy, at the Alba plant, to be sure not to harm other people.
This scandal was a considerable damage to the image of Ferrero, a historic company for the production of snacks and sweets.
What is Salmonella
Salmonella is a bacteriumbelonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family, which is transmitted through contact with infected substances.
Salmonellosis is an infection that is caused by this bacterium, which can often be found in food. Without prompt treatment, salmonella can cause serious complications and can be fatal.
But how is it recognized? At first it is not easy to understand whether or not it treats this infection, also because the symptoms can be diarrhea, headache, fever, vomiting, common flu symptoms.
But in the second stage of the disease then you get alarmed, because the abdomen swells and the heartbeat slows down.
To prevent salmonella, doctors recommend vaccination, if you travel to risky areas of the world.
However, vaccinations do not provide complete protection against salmonella so it is important to take some basic precautions, such as drinking only bottled water, preferably sealed.
Also, it is very important to try to eat raw vegetables, peeled fruit, seafood or salads, especially if you do not know where they come from or how they have been washed and disinfected.
