The presence of Salmonella can cause serious and
sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and
others with weakened immune systems.
Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience symptoms that
appear 12 to 72 hours after infection that include fever, diarrhea, nausea,
vomiting and abdominal pain. Most people
recover without treatment.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
began investigating last week after receiving reports of illness. The CDC has since identified the pot pies as
a potential source of the Salmonella that sickened more than 100 people in
dozens of states.
