What is Salmonella? Is it serious?
Salmonella is a type of bacteria and causes a common form of food poisoning. While outbreaks of the disease have occurred, the good news is that cases are generally mild, and most people who catch it will recover within a few days. However, for people with weaker immune systems, such as children and elderly people, catching it can lead to more serious symptoms.
Through our online course, you will learn how to minimise the risks of Salmonella and protect yourself and those around you.
