The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is alerting the public to a risk of Salmonella typhi (Typhoid fever) exposure due to consuming products from Domino’s Pizza (717 Centennial Drive S.) in Martensville between October 11 and 19, 2024.
Typhoid Fever is a serious illness that can cause fever, headache, feeling unwell, fatigue, rash on the upper body, constipation, diarrhea and/or vomiting. It is spread though eating food and/or water contaminated with the bacteria. Some infected persons can present with more serious complications. Symptoms develop anywhere from 3 to 60 days (typically 8 to 14 days) after exposure to the bacteria.
If you consumed food products from this location during these dates, and are experiencing symptoms of typhoid fever, seek care from your health professional or call 811. You should indicate to them that you ate at this location during the dates listed.
Typhoid fever infection is rare, and although serious, is treatable with antibiotics. The risk to those exposed is considered low. Practicing good hand hygiene after using the toilet or prior to preparing, serving, or eating food are important steps you can take to help reduce the risk of illness.
