Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 5CT
Over 1000 people developed severe diarrhea, and at least four died, from a strain of Salmonella enterica in the fall of 2012. Epidemiologists determined that infection resulted from the consumption of contaminated smoked salmon. Based on this chapter, what methods to control microbial growth are available to fishermen, packers, and stores that might have prevented such an outbreak? What other precautions could consumers have taken?
