sick as I did. The chicken seemed to taste a bit different than usual, but not bad. It was obvious that I had food poisoning, as I had all of the disturbing symptoms. As I type this day (on Sunday April 7, 2024), I’m just beginning to feel better, but my muscles & joints are still weak and extremely painful. I’ve never been so ill in my entire life. We kept the receipt and the cardboard carrier with information regarding time, date , etc, and we stored a piece of the chicken in a labelled baggie in the freezer.  | Symptoms: Vomiting, Nausea, Diarrhea, Weakness
