Salmonellosis is a foodborne disease caused by the consumption of contaminated food by Salmonella species. Salmonella is a well-documented pathogen known to occur in a wide range of foods, especially poultry products.
The poultry and poultry products are often contaminated with potential
pathogenic bacteria if proper hygienic practices are not followed at
during processing, preparation and storage of chicken products,
subsequently they become significant source of foodborne diseases.
Salmonella is often spread when we eat poorly cooked foods. Raw
or undercooked eggs, meat and poultry are particularly high risk foods.
Thoroughly cooking food will kill Salmonella.
Although the presence of Salmonella in poultry is relatively common, poultry can be safely consumed when it is cooked to a safe internal endpoint temperature.
Where possible, foods (poultry stuffing, etc.) should be cooked to
temperatures (at least 65.6 ° C) at which it can be assumed that all
Salmonella bacteria have been destroyed.

Food safety can be defined as the “the avoidance of food borne pathogens, chemical toxicants and physical hazards, but also includes issues of nutrition, food quality and education.” The focus is on “microbial, chemical or physical hazards from substances than can cause adverse consequences.”
