Strauss, and subsequently also Unilever Israel, announced a recall of dozens of the company's products, for fear of the presence of salmonella in raw chocolate produced in the factory.
"Israel Today" with the organized guide and all the important questions on the subject.
What is Salmonella?
It is a bacterium that multiplies in the stomach and on the sides of the intestine, causing vomiting, diarrhea, headaches and the like.
Sometimes it can cause a serious illness, and in very rare situations even life-threatening.
I ate a product that appeared on the list, what now?
Chances are nothing will happen, continue with your daily routine as usual.
What symptoms should be noted?
Vomiting, abdominal pain or headaches may indicate bacterial infection.
Usually after a few days the disease will go away on its own, it is only important to drink water so as not to lose fluids.
When to worry?
In cases of children, the elderly or sick people (especially cancer patients) who show symptoms of infection, the doctor should be consulted immediately for follow-up.

How did the bacterium get into the food in the factory?
The salmonella bacterium may reach food through the milk of cows.
There is a type of Salmonella W775 Senftenberg which is relatively heat resistant and can sometimes be found even in pasteurized milk.
Freezing or cooling does not destroy the bacterium, and can also be found at a temperature of ten degrees slow development of its bacterium.
It comes in milking and is found in the cows themselves.
The salmonella bacterium may also appear in eggs.
