Dogs have a shorter digestive tract than humans and thus can usually handle some salmonella without getting ill.

There is always a risk of salmonella in poultry, that is why one should always be very careful with cooking and handling it, not using knives to cut raw chicken and then turn around and use the same knife to cut veggies for a salad. I'm sure that we've all prepared chicken that has salmonella in it, but cooked it properly so that we killed all the salmonella and we never knew it had been there.

In the wild a wolf would eat salmonella quite often and not get ill, and those that feed homemade raw and give their dogs a little salmonella quite often. The dogs can handle it.

I think the bigger risk is to humans that are handling the food. Use good hygiene practices (as I'm sure most do when feeding raw anyway), and you should minimize any risks to yourself as well.
