Yes you can get salmonella poisoning from Almonds that have the Salmonella bacteria on them.

If you use the almonds in baked goods and the almonds are heated up to a high enough temperature then salmonella bacteria will be killed.

So in that case you should not get salmonella from eating the almonds.

It's rare though that almonds have the salmonella bacteria so it's not too much of an issue when it comes to eating almonds.

There was a few cases of people getting infected with salmonella though after eating almonds but your chance of getting infected with salmonella is very low that it's nothing to worry about.

I've eaten almonds without adding them to baked goods for years and never have gotten salmonella poisoning or any other health issues as a result of eating almonds.
