Plant-based dietary supplements can be contaminated with salmonella. Dietary supplements were recently recalled from the market because a possible exposure to salmonella could not be ruled out and this poses a health risk for consumers.
Salmonella infection often leads to the following symptoms: diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, vomiting, malaise and a slight fever.
Herbal food supplements can be contaminated with salmonella if the plants have been watered with water that is polluted with faeces, for example. Animals such as rats, birds and insects can also transmit salmonella to plants through their faeces.
Bilacon checks your herbal food supplements for salmonella so that you can bring safe products to the market without salmonella and protect yourself from costly product recalls.
Our experts will be happy to advise you on your own checks and advise you on practical measures to prevent contamination or germ contamination.
