My husband and I had our last meal of a 17 day holiday on 2nd July 2019. I avoided the crab due to impending traveling.
I had fish tacos and chicken tortilla soup and my husband had chicken & tropical fruit salad.
We caught a flight to London Gatwick 3 hours later. I felt sick on the plane and couldn’t eat. I thought I was travel sick(something I've never had before). After the journey from hell we finally got in a taxi at Gatwick. I somehow managed not to throw up in the taxi. I was sick at home in London and sick again about 4 hours later. I had diarrhea for a week and then on and off for another 10 days. I have had nausea for nearly 4 weeks now and still haven’t revovered. My husband followed with similar symptoms 24 hrs after me. He recovered about four days ago.
My husband finished off the chicken tortilla soup and ate one of the tortillas ( no filling) from the fish tacos. We think it must’ve been the chicken tortilla soup.
It’s a shame as this was the first restaurant we ever visited in Florida 8 years ago and has remained a favorite on our subsequent visits. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea

Sunday Hotdog food at aquatica and seaworld. 2 adults and 2 kids still have diarrhea. We have been sick for several days now.
I had ordered food for myself, the children and my husband while they were at the children's slide pool at Aquatica. Upon ordering food … See More
and picking up condiments I realize a foul odor coming from the hot dog which had a sort of mango tomato chetney and some what perplexed due to the rotting smell. I was SO taken aback from the
faint rot meat smell .I sat down with my husband not sure if it was the smell because of a cocktail or the food on my tray. I never had to complain in the seaworld parks befor but It was so bad it was turing into sort or methane smell. My husband took a bite as I did but after 5 mins It smelled and tasted worse, like rotting trash from a garbage compactor. After we took a reluctant bite after words it was So disgusting I brought it back to Facility and they gave me another bacon wrapped hot dog without the Chutney. Regardless several hours later we all had diarrhea. My husband had to call out sick the next day stomach cramps and diarrhea. I have been throwing up with non stop diarrhea. My children did not go to school the following day becuase of diarrhea. Aqudica needs to seriously check their preped food in there cools like e 4 hours for public safety. For the last 2 days it hurt so bad it feel like all my organs were going to explode. Our family has been sick for days now and I still feel pain in my abdomen.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Cramps, Stomach Pain

ones who ate the pork. This was the sickest I’ve ever been. We all were nauseous, vomiting, diarrhea, fevers, body aches, and headache's for DAYS. I called today to inform them about it and I asked to speak to a manager. A lady got on the phone and I said that I got a Boston butt Saturday night, and she said oh god, hold on a minute, and put me on hold. When she got back on the phone she asked if she could take a message. I said no, I need to speak to a manager, is that not you? She said no. I told her about all of us getting extremely ill and she said “there were 7 of you”? I said yes, so I need to speak to the manager. She took my number but I have yet to receive a call back. Her reaction was odd and led me to believe that there were others who also got food poisoning from them Saturday  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Fever, Headache, Body Ache

Organic is when the bird wasn't fed or injected with the growth hormone that makes it become a bigger size faster than usual time, etc, however it doesn't necessarily mean the food is safe to eat. From what I see the colours (an excessive red and dark) of those chicken don't seem normal to me, also the air inside the frozen bag could be an indicator of microbial growth, so it's better not to eat the second one.
