Salmonella is usually contracted when you eat contaminated food or drinks such as raw (unpasteurised) milk or eggs, uncooked meats - especially poultry. It has also been found in a wide range of foods and products such as chocolate, cooked meats, baby milk, and salads.

Usually, you won't need treatment. Just drink plenty of water. Symptoms take between 12 and 72 hours to develop.It may take up to two weeks to clear up, but if symptoms become severe, call your GP. Salmonella isn't usually life threatening.

To prevent it, wash your hands before and after cooking. Prepare your food carefully (on clean surfaces, using clean equiptment), cook your food properly, avoid ‘raw’ dairy products and avoid drinking river water. Tesco operates stores across Birmingham.
