Harry & David Chocolate, Phoenix, AZ, USA

Last night, i ate one of the Harry and David white chocolates that a relative sent to me from their website. This morning i woke dizzy and with cold sweats. I was incredibly nauseous and threw up several times. i’ve also had stomach pains and intermittent diarrhea.
i previously had eaten the milk chocolate that was in the same box and had been fine. it’s very unlikely that the food poisoning was caused by anything else as the white chocolate was the only thing i ate yesterday that was out of the ordinary for me.

McDonald's, Thrush Road, Redcar, UK
2 weeks ago •reported by user-xjfd7319
Monday 15th April about 3pm I ordered McDonald's. I had not eaten all day . Perhaps it was the strawberry milkshake as this was getting stomach cramps and nausea and when belching this was the smell repeatedly. I drank less than half and began to feel off
and then went to bed to try and sleep it off .
Since early this morning I've had awful diarrhoea and stomach cramps.
I believe it something I ate from McDonald's (I ordered big MC meal with strawberry milkshake.
I wonder if other people from the vicinity have had the same issue. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain, Cramps

Five Guys, West 12 Mile Road, Southfield, MI, USA
2 weeks ago •reported by user-pkcf1877
Yesterday 4/12/24 was my first time purchasing food from Five Guys on 12 mile and Telegraph in Southfield MI. I was immediately disgusted and extremely disappointed with their food, I ordered 2 bacon cheesebugers, 2 fries and 2 shakes. The strawberry milkshake was disgusting, it tasted like
cinnamon and made me sick immediately so much so, that I contacted their Corporate office about an hour after the purchase and made an official complaint. Today @ 10:45am, I started experiencing extreme stomach pain, ended up vomiting in the bath tub while sitting on the commode with painful nonstop diarrhea, I endured these problems for more than an hour. I attached the receipt and a picture of the uneaten food from Five Guy.

I ordered a turkey and cheese sandwich on Saturday, April 20, 2024. It was my daughter's birthday and she had a free coupon. I was visiting my two children at their college. I am an out of state resident. After a few hours, I was feeling nauseated
and I had abdominal pain in my stomach. In the middle of the night around 2 am, I started feeling a tightness in my stomach again. I immediately ran to the bathroom and then I had diarrhea and I started vomiting. Later on this day, I had the chills and a fever. This is definitely symptoms of food poisoning.
04/24 update: I am still having watery diarrhea, a fever, chills, abdominal pain in my stomach, and feeling nauseated. I cannot hold solid foods down, just fluids. I sleep a lot. I have missed two days of work so far. This was my first time eating at a Jersey Mike's. It was my daughter's birthday and she had points there. She gave the turkey and cheese sandwich to me. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Fever, Chills, Stomach Pain, Fatigue
