Suspected Chicken Temp Issue - Publix, Clearwater Florida

1555 South Highland Avenue, Clearwater, 33756 Florida, United States

Yesterday they had a new offering it never had before - string beans and some type of squash that could be steamed in a bag I also ate their Chicken, whole and original flavored - not fried, and a bag of Snyders Cheddar pretzels. The more I think about it, I think it was the chicken. I did notice when I got home that it was not as hot as usual, but at the time I thought nothing of it. It was the ready made hot chicken that they sit out for people to pick up. I work not far from here and there was a brief brown out, like less than 1 minute. I don’t know if maybe the power was out for longer at that store and they forgot to toss out that chicken. My symptoms started 12 hours after I ate and lasted up to 12 hours more. I had to go to the bathroom every 20 mins. I dehydrated and got dizzy and lightheaded. I fear what would happen if this food was given to an elderly person. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Dehydration, Dizziness, Lightheaded
