Visit the CDC site for information on salmonellosis in people.
The press release from ASPCA last month also has some information on Salmonella in pets and people.

Dogs and cats affected by Salmonella may show signs of vomiting, diarrhea, fever, lethargy, drooling, and/or panting. If you suspect that your pet may have ingested a contaminated recalled product, please contact your family veterinarian. Remember to save the suspected product (or packaging) for confirmation.
