Patrons with symptoms should not prepare food or drinks for others and should wash their hands with soap and water frequently to prevent spreading the bacteria.

Salmonella bacteria are one of the most common causes of food poisoning in the U.S. Symptoms typically last for four to seven days, and most people get better without treatment. However, Salmonella can cause more serious illness in certain groups of people, including the elderly, infants and persons with chronic diseases or compromised immune systems.
Salmonella bacteria can be spread through contaminated food or water.
Information on preventing Salmonella infections can be found online from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
