Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling contaminated food, items that have come into contact with that food and the feces of an affected animal.
 

Isolate and seal the food in a plastic bag and airtight container. Seal the container with tape, then dispose of it in a way that will not be accessible to children, pets or wild animals.
 

Avoid touching contaminated food by using disposable gloves if possible. Then dispose of gloves in the same way you would contaminated food.
 

Do not handle contaminated food if you have open sores on your hand, are pregnant or have a compromised immune system.
 

Thoroughly wash containers, bowls and utensils that have come into contact with contaminated food in hot soapy water, using a sink that is not in or near normal food preparation areas. It is advisable to wear gloves when doing this, then disposing of the gloves.
 

Sponges and paper towels used in the cleaning process should be disposed of in a safe secure manner after use.
 

Plastic food and water bowls should be replaced since plastic is porous and can retain organisms.
 

Thoroughly wash and disinfect all areas that have come into contact with contaminated food or containers/bowls holding contaminated food.
 

The litter box of an affected cat should be replaced if possible, or at the very least thoroughly washed and disinfected.
 

Thoroughly wash or replace toys (especially chew toys) and beds used by the affected pet.
 

Clean all kitchen surfaces, items and floors with hot soapy water. Do the same for containers and other that have come into contact with the affected food or pet.
 

Remind every family member that there has been a contamination, so they wash their hands after coming into contact with affected areas or pets.
 

Be aware of the symptoms of salmonella so you can monitor family members.
 

Be extra diligent in cleaning up after your pet, removing all traces of feces, even small specs that can stick to grass. Salmonella can easily survive for weeks outside a living body. 
 

Make sure pet waste is placed in a secure bag and secure container which isn’t readily accessible to children, pets or wild animals. The same applies to feces and urine soaked litter removed from a cat box
 

If you use a scooper to pick up feces, clean and disinfect once a week, in a way that ensures that towels and rinse water are inaccessible to children, pets and wild animals. (Rinse water should run off in yard.)
 

Avoid cleaning bowls, containers and utensils that have possibly been affected in sinks in or near food preparation areas.
 

To prevent the occurrence of salmonella, a pet’s food/water bowls and food dispensing toys should be washed in warm soapy water after each use.
