Amy's Kitchen, Walmart, Mississauga, ON, Canada
3 weeks ago
I used to love their Mexican Casserole bowl. But the latest one that I had purchased from Wal-Mart (Mississauga, ON, Canada) made me sick. Ate at 9:30 pm, in bed by 12:00 am. Felt nauseous and uncomfortable. Heart was pounding. Eventually felt that I had to try
to vomit. Had diarrhea later. Didn't sleep the entire night and had to write off the entire next day. And now seeing all these other reports on here is shocking!! Never buying Amy's foods again.
