1) Cook
poultry, ground beef, and eggs thoroughly. Do not eat or drink foods containing
raw eggs, or raw (unpasteurized) milk.
2) If you
are served undercooked meat, poultry or eggs in a restaurant, don't hesitate to
send it back to the kitchen for further cooking.
3) Wash
hands, kitchen work surfaces, and utensils with soap and water immediately
after they have been in contact with raw meat or poultry.
4) Be
particularly careful with foods prepared for infants, the elderly, and the
immunocompromised.
Wash
hands with soap after handling reptiles, birds, or baby chicks, and after
contact with pet feces.
5) Avoid
direct or even indirect contact between reptiles (turtles, iguanas, other
lizards, snakes) and infants or immunocompromised persons.
6) Don't
work with raw poultry or meat, and an infant (e.g., feed, change diaper) at the
same time.
7) Mother's
milk is the safest food for young infants. Breastfeeding prevents salmonellosis
and many other health problems
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
2010).
