·         A problem/issue that individuals face

5.      This is extremely important for individuals because an outbreak of salmonella is really dangerous and can spread easily affecting the health of many citizens and also the government itself.

6.   From my point of view this is a really important situation that must need action from the government as soon as possible. Right now the government shutdown its being a major theme of discussion and causing much confusion among citizens of our country. But this theme should be taken as something serious. A food poisoning outbreak should be investigated and issue a plan to close the plants causing the outbreak to avoid the contact of more infected products to the people in our country. People should also be aware of the products identified as possible cause of the outbreak and take adequate prevention avoiding the products in order to control this dangerous situation. If Foster Farms products are a potentially cause of this Salmonella outbreak this poultry farm should be closed until the outbreak it’s gone.
