Sometimes-ment can mean result of an action, as in advancement. The suffix-ment can be traced back to the Latin noun suffix-mentum. Although its use in English dates back to the 1300s, it wasn't until the 1500s and 1600s that a great number of words were coined with-ment.
Salmonella bacteria (there are many types) are another major cause of food poisoning in the United States. The most commonly contaminated foods are raw meat (including chicken), raw or undercooked eggs, and unpasteurized milk.
These examples remind me that there is an often-overlooked food safety issue: Physical contamination. A physical contaminant is anything that can be visibly seen and is not part of the food originally. It is unclear how widespread this problem is because most incidents do not cause major injuries and go unreported.
