Trader Joe's, 5000 Folsom Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95819, USA

5000 Folsom Boulevard, Sacramento, 95819 California, United States
This is the worst food poisoning I have ever had. I ate the chicken curry salad at Trader Joes off Folsom Blvd. in Sacramento Ca. on 92518. I became violently ill hours later in the middle of the night vomiting with diarrhea. Unfortunately I had a flight booked to Europe the next day at 12pm. I vomited 4x and had green Diarrhea for 1 week after. Fortunately I was able to get medication for the 10 hour flight to London to hold me over however I was not able to eat meat for a week overseas and even a month later I cannot eat chicken or any white meats ( I dont think I can ever again). This is the THIRD TIME I have been sick after eating Trader Joes products. Two years ago I had the Chinese noodle salad and found moldy cucumbers in my salad and I found a hair in another Chicken Salad from there. This makes me so sad because I love what Trader Joes stands for- good food at a reasonable value but I cannot shop there any more. The quality is not up to code Ive given it 3 tries and the third almost led me to the hospital. I hope they can figure out whats going wrong in their manufacturing facilities. Until then Ill have to go elsewhere. Id rather live my life in the great outdoors and not in bathroomshospitals | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever, Nausea

See More I would have extreme diarrhea. So today I pooped and noticed I pooped a lot, this is my 3rd round of pooping after flushing 2 other consecutive rounds. Im finding what looks like it could be parasites but I never had that happen before nor know if that’s what they look like if they even come out of your rectum. I’m looking harder and it seems like it may be noodles and bean sprouts and scallions that didn’t get digested. That definitely look like it was the Trader Joe’s frozen vegetable pad Thai. I ate other meals after that. I am confused. | Symptoms: Diarrhea See Less
