What is the best medium to use to find out if salmonella is present in my food sample.?

I have small circular white colonies in my culture but I want to find out if any salmonella is present in there. Can anyone please suggest any biochemical test or any specific medium to subculture on. Thanks for your help.

Try BSA media, or Bismuth Sulfite Agar. It will culture the Salmonella species specifically, and the colonies should be black and easily recognizable.
