Yeah, here is the CDC page on that for others who want to see.
But salmonella not being a big deal if you are healthy is only true for young healthy adults like you pointed out. No where in that article did he say "don't give it your young child or infant". Or that if your are elderly it could kill you. That just bothers me. He used these big numbers numbers to make it seem less than it is. Yes he mentioned the CDC but he could have used the CDC estimate but instead he stayed clear of that in order to make his point. That ain't responsible journalism since most people, as he well knows, will take it at face value. But people should know that food poisoning is dangersous and more dangerous for some than others. The very young and very old as you pointed out. But like I said, I don't care too much about the salmonella angle except for the slapdash reporting of it.
From a bodybuilding standpoint it just ain't great is all.
