The article regarding salmonella poisoning mentions that nearly 200 innocent customers of a local bakery suffered from this infectious disease. It is said that the bakery owner and staff had unsanitary conditions in which they worked in. What exactly infected these people was the cannoli filling which was poorly handled. This particular filling which is contributed to making Black Forest Cake had been contaminated with salmonella bacteria.

The cause of how this bacteria came into effect could be connected to infected dairy products or very poor employee sanitation. Clinton Township bakery is being thoroughly investigated on the bacteria that infected many people in Macomb County. The punishment toward this one bakery is unknown at the present time but is said to be "still a work in progress". The department of Agriculture will decide on what the results will be. Although the bakery is going through speculation they are still operating under the terms products which contain cannoli be excluded from the menu. Other then that exception the bakery has every right to keep running their business.

Due to the contamination a report confirms that out of 196 victims 24 were actually hospitalized. The victims reactions to this bacteria ranged from diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, fever and vomiting. No cases reported any related deaths to this investigation. Sometime this week 32 more people will join in the pursuit to sue the bakery for inefficient sanitation. What the results are from this case are not given in this point in time. My reaction to this article is in complete disgust to the unsanitary situations the food was presented in.

If you are going to sell food to the public you need to make sure that you treat the food as if you were to eat it. Hand washing is a major factor along with making sure the area surrounding you is 100% clean to work around. After all people are trusting you with how you handle their food. Lastly being the health board making frequent visits to see if preparation of food in that area meets health standards. As for this bakery I think they should be sued to prevent any one else getting sick from salmonella.
