In young children, the elderly, the frail, and those with compromised immune systems, Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and occasionally fatal infections.
Salmonella infections in healthy individuals frequently cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. More severe infections can occasionally be brought on by Salmonella entering the bloodstream.
You can return impacted eggs to the store where you bought them for a complete refund.
