Family Sick After Sandwich - Clapham Junction Station, London England

London, SW11 2QP England, United Kingdom

On Monday I purchased a ham and cheese sandwich & bottle water. I broke a tiny piece to give to my baby as I bought the sandwich for him. Immediately as it entered his palate he spat it back out. I thought that was weird as, we eat ham & cheese sandwiches quite regularly.

I then bite into mine. The bread wasn't fresh, the ham-rind and or fat hard, the cheese salty. I then spat back out mine because with a second thought wasn't going to have food poisoning on a hot day. I was angry I was sold a sandwich which costed me around £5 but wasn't fresh and stale. A few hours later…

My baby started with uncontrollable vomit, messed nappies and high temperature. I then decided to report. I contacted pret a manager to log in this complaint because I want accepting it.

My stomach was in pain. I however did not have any symptoms until 2 days later. At about the same time my baby began being sick, mother began with uncontrollable vomit which didn't end until 1:22am early hours of Thursday morning. I could not keep anything down. If I sipped water I was gushing water back out even if I lyed down. It was horrendous.

Baby has been ok since his episode Monday & Tuesday but now mommy's and Papa's begins. My husband began vomitting on his way to work Thursday morning uncontrollably, feeling no weak, temperature etc he had to medication to stop being sick as because of his commitment and dedication to his work- otherwise he should have been in hospital. Today being Friday, I haven't been sick in over 24hrs, stomach feels sensitive and or weak. Feels cold, has shivers. Physically I have strength, I am not weak. But my stomach ache on the end of a very faulty or bad sandwich is what has to be addressed. Overall I think this company has a huge food safety concern. In order for me to become angry after biting the sandwich is enough to tell you, that the quality and the standard was not good. It was not exceptional. If further cases are reported or recorded the FSA or FDA in every country should look about flagging this or closing them down simple and short. No more operations. And extensive operational chain of business but the chain is drastically broken.

So long as I'm ok now, does not determine whether I will later. I haven't eaten in over 56 hours, I really can't. and has been severely dehydrated. I'm thirsty it's summer in the UK, but anytime I dip or drink water I bring it all back out. I'll be ok, I am weathering it out as I should. I am already on medication for a stomach flu. When this occurred has ceased taken medication for 2 days.

I wouldn't sue them or anything but a £50 voucher isn't enough and I certainly wouldn't use it to eat at their restaurant. | Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain, Chills, Diarrhea, Dehydration, Weakness
