Foodborne means the bacteria are carried on food. The UKHSA has said that while the symptoms of salmonellosis usually resolve themselves within a few days the symptoms can be more severe, especially in young children and those with weakened immune systems. Salmonella are so small that you can’t see them with your eyes so you’d need a microscope to see the bacteria. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said on Friday that 67 people in the UK are known to have been infected with salmonella in the outbreak linked to the treats. According to the UKHSA, there are “more than 2,500 strains of salmonella bacteria”. These live in the guts of domestic and wild animals including chickens, cattle, pigs, hedgehogs, snakes and lizards. Suspected cases of salmonella cases linked to Kinder chocolate have been reported in the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Luxembourg and Belgium.
