Typical symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. These commonly begin within hours to a few days, though onset can be up to a week.

Most people recover at home with rest and fluids. Still, contact a clinician if symptoms last more than a few days or if you develop dehydration.

Who is at higher risk

Young children, older adults, and people with a weakened immune system face greater risk of severe illness. Seek care early for these groups.

When to seek medical care and likely treatment

Get immediate care for high fever, bloody stools, prolonged vomiting, or signs of dehydration. Treatment may include oral rehydration, electrolyte replacement, and in select cases, antibiotics guided by your clinician.

Safe handling at home

Discard the suspect product, wash hands, and clean fridge shelves and cookware that contacted raw material. Use a detergent wash followed by a disinfectant.

Keep refrigerator temps at or below 40°F and cook eggs until yolks and whites are firm. Use separate cutting boards for raw and ready-to-eat food.

For restaurants and food service

Halt service of the listed product, segregate inventory, document lot codes and sell-by dates, and sanitize prep areas and equipment. Log any staff or customer illness reports and notify local health officials this year if required.
