Salmonella Infested Fruits
Salmonella is a bacteriabacterium that is the most common cause of food poisoning. It is dangerous, and sometimes deadly when people who are at risk catch it. S. typhimurium and S. enteritidis are two strains of the bacteria bacterium that are responsible for most of the food poisoning cases in America, although there are several, and some known to be very resistant to antibiotics. Since symptoms can take anywhere from 12 hours to 3 days to show up in humans, it can be very hard to trace back to true source of the infection.

The terrorist group trying to make a true name for itself, is planning an attack on the food supply at a local grocery store.

First they should have had the water supply tested at a minimum weekly, and as soon as any reports of food poisoning where reported. They could have also ran deeper back ground checks on their employees and made sure that they do not have any type of violent crime, or anything that says ‘hey, maybe they should not work with food.’ The company also has a responsibility to its shoppers to post signs about large outbreaks, warning of potential contamination, and given resources to learn how to prevent them, like a CDC
