Summary
| Description | This film tells the story of a group of soldiers who became infected with salmonella. First, clips of men getting sick and being taken to a hospital are shown, as the narrator explains that the men were experiencing abdominal pains, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, and fever. A doctor then finds salmonella organisms in a stool sample from one of the soldiers, so the narrator explains the importance of looking back to the preparation of dinner to isolate the problem. After checking all of the food, it becomes clear that the chicken and gravy were responsible. The dinner preparation process is reviewed, and the narrator explains three major problems that could have prevented the infection of the men - the cutting board and all other cooking utensils should have been properly cleaned, the chicken should have been refrigerated, and the gravy should have been thoroughly cooked after the chicken was added.
