Salmonella infections are commonly associated with diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, according to the CDC. Symptoms can begin between six hours and six days after you’ve ingested the bacteria. Most people are able to recover without receiving treatment within four to seven days. Illnesses may be more severe for young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Some may require medical treatment or hospitalization, the CDC explains. Infections can only be diagnosed with a laboratory test of a person’s stool, body tissue or fluids. The states where middle-class income is growing most – and 2 where it’s shrinking Federal health regulators have issued several alerts regarding salmonella recently. Last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert for multiple frozen pizzas and pork rind snacks over possible salmonella contamination. Recalls have also been issued for snack mixes, powdered beverage mixes, potato chips, popcorn topping, raw pet food, and cheese curds. Late last month, the CDC warned of a multi-state outbreak of potentially drug-resistant salmonella linked to backyard poultry. Several cases in that outbreak are among young children, health officials said. Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
