How does Salmonella survive in Dry Food?
Thanks! Pops

Some bacteria are hearty little buggers; bacteria have been found 5 miles above the earth's surface living in clouds.
Salmonella can survive on dry hard surfaces (tile, wood, steel, etc) for over a month.
Salmonella has been found to survive the spray drying process used to make powdered milk (milk is sprayed in a fine mist into a stream of warm air to evaporate the water leaving a fine powder of milk proteins).
Heating for some time (>120F) and soap kill salmonella.
Studies indicate that bacteria survive hostile environments by forming organized colonies of bacteria called Biofilms.
