Immediately discard the contaminated food and thoroughly clean and disinfect the fridge, especially the vegetable compartment, with soap and warm water to prevent the risk of salmonella or other bacterial infections; also, wash your hands thoroughly and monitor your health for any symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach cramps, and seek medical attention if you experience any adverse reactions.
