I went today (22/03/2024) to have lunch with my family (three people). We ordered a mussel starter (it smelled immediately, I even tasted it, we had to reject it). We said we would pay but we wouldn't eat. I ate monkfish kebab with shrimp (the shrimp didn't

seem fresh to me, so I barely tasted it, I also rejected the remaining shrimp). I had green diarrhea!!! I had never had problems at this restaurant before, but I think that the dietary hygiene of this restaurant should be checked. Certainly place not to return and not to advise unless they improve drastically!!!!!! (They didn't charge the entrance fee for mussels because they realized that, in fact, it was not in good condition...)

Miracle Whip surge of reports in 2024
3 weeks ago
This year, 2024, we have seen a surge of illness reports characterized by common symptoms such as diarrhea, stomach pain, and nausea linked to Miracle Whip. Additionally, we have received reports citing strange smell, taste, and unusual color in the Miracle Whip. As of March 25th, 2024,
…
we have received 37 reports linked to any of these issues after consuming/purchasing the product.
Some report excerpts here:
"...there’s a yellow chunky sludge on the inside of the seal and a brownish crust around the edge, and it smells funky"
"I just bought some miracle whip today. Expiration date is June of this year. I had one already here that I had an open and it’s got the same expiration date. They both smell like paint I got a little sick cause I ate off of one and I had a nasty taste like a, some paint thinner or something"
"Kraft miracle whip. Hard yellow crusty gunk under the seal. Smelled old. I have 3 jars all with the same expiration date May."
"Miracle whip (2different jars), doesn’t taste right"
If you have purchased Miracle Whip and experienced food poisoning symptoms or noticed any indicators of a food safety concern (such as an unusual odor, discoloration, or texture) it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
