Hannaford, Main Street, Saco, ME, USA

I have swallowing issues so I have been in the same diet for five weeks now which makes it very easy to tell what makes me sick as I have only eaten the same four things for five weeks now. For five weeks I have had no
symptoms of anything. Every day we get a 6$ premade rotisserie chicken from hannaford. To go with that I eat original humus, beef broth, and occasionally a can of refried beans. Yesterday or today one of those chickens was contaminated. I have not consumed any beef broth, hummus, or beans in 72 hours. Both yesterday and today the only thing I ate was the Hannaford rotisserie chicken and water. So either yesterday or today the chicken was contaminated. I have been on the toilet since 2pm and it’s now 11:37pm. I have not stopped violently shitting yet. Vomiting, nausea, severe stomach pain, diarrhea, and headache is my current symptoms and they have not eased up at all. Considering I have been on the same diet for five weeks, and in the last two days only ate one food item, there’s no doubt it was the rotisserie chicken. I noticed an off smell on the chicken we got yesterday but thought it was just that weird re-heated smell you get from the bag. Didn’t think anything of it because for weeks it’s been perfect and no issues. Definitely warn the store about their chicken as I know right now they are having issues with other food products and I believe the chicken is now an issue as well.
