What Is Salmonella?

Salmonella is a harmful bacteria that causes foodborne illness when ingested. Infections typically arise from eating or drinking contaminated products. Common sources include:

• Undercooked or raw meat, poultry, or eggs
• Fresh produce exposed to contaminated water
• Unpasteurized milk and dairy products
• Processed foods like frozen meals or nut butters
• Improperly handled or cross-contaminated items

Symptoms of Salmonella Poisoning

Symptoms usually develop within 6 hours to 6 days of exposure and may include:

• Diarrhea, which may be severe or bloody
• Fever and chills
• Stomach cramps
• Nausea and vomiting
• Headaches and fatigue

While many people recover without treatment, high-risk groups—including young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems—face a greater chance of complications like dehydration, reactive arthritis, and bloodstream infections.

Who May Be Liable

Multiple parties in the food supply chain may be responsible for a salmonella outbreak, including:

• Restaurants and Caterers: For unsafe food handling or storage practices.
• Grocery Stores and Retailers: For selling recalled or contaminated products.
• Food Manufacturers and Processors: For failing to follow safety standards during production.
• Distributors and Suppliers: For unsanitary transportation or storage conditions.
• Farms and Importers: For using contaminated water or failing to follow proper harvesting practices.

Arizona Law on Salmonella Liability

Victims of salmonella illness may bring claims under several legal theories:

Product Liability

Arizona law applies strict liability to defective or contaminated food products. You do not need to prove negligence if the food caused your illness (A.R.S. §§ 12-681 to 12-689).

Negligence

If a restaurant, retailer, or manufacturer failed to act reasonably to prevent contamination, they may be liable under A.R.S. § 12-2505.

Breach of Warranty

Selling food as safe or “ready to eat” when it contains harmful bacteria may violate implied or express warranties.

Statute of Limitations

In Arizona, victims generally have two years from the date of illness to file a lawsuit (A.R.S. § 12-542).
