Saona Island, Dominican Republic
4 years ago
23000 La Altagracia, Dominican Republic
Lovely boat ride but upon arriving at the island was served shrimp, pork chops, chicken, and various salads. 30 minutes after eating the severe abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea began. Symptoms worsened over several hours and landed me in the emergency room with a 103 degree fever. After many hours and thousands of dollars later I was diagnosed with food poisoning and released back to my resort. I spoke with another guest on the excursion and found that she experienced the same symptoms in a similar time frame. Seems to me that I’m not alone in this situation. Makes you wonder how many other people experienced the same symptoms and didn’t report it. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever, Nausea, Vomiting, Cramps

On Sunday, November 5th, I made a colossal error in judgment by eating lunch at the Big Boy in Madison Heights, MI. When we walked in, I quickly observed that every table that wasn't occupied was covered in the previous occupant's dishes and uneaten food. As we... See More waited at the host stand for nearly 20 minutes to be greeted, it became apparent that the restaurant was severely understaffed. I should have left, however my kids really wanted Big Boy and were behaving quite well, so I decided to wait it out. It took almost an hour to get our food. Again, we should have left before it even arrived. I had the club sandwich, and 24 hours later, I had severe abdominal pain, constant diarrhea, and non-stop nausea. I don't know if it was the turkey, the lettuce, or something related to lack of hygiene by the staff — but I was poisoned. The symptoms lasted for 3 days. To make matters worse, the symptoms returned in full force every 4-5 days over the course of three weeks. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Stomach Pain See Less

I had a brisket sandwich I ate and also purchased a pulled pork sandwich which I did not eat. at Buc-ee's on the day after Thanksgiving in 2023 at approx 10:20 pm. While stopping for gas and to use the restrooms, I decided to purchase a large... See More brisket sandwich. However, upon examining the sandwiches on the counter, I noticed that all of them had exceeded their hourly sell-by time. Concerned about the freshness, I inquired with the person behind the counter. She retrieved one from a holding area under the counter. Despite this, shortly after continuing my drive home, I began to feel nauseous. Upon arriving home around 2 am, I decided to sleep it off. The next morning, I experienced vomiting, confirming that it was indeed the brisket that had caused my discomfort. This incident marked the second time I have not felt well after consuming food from Buc-ee's, but it was the first time I experienced symptoms like vomiting. Regrettably, I was unwell for approximately 32 hours following my visit to Buc-ee's. Given these experiences, I have decided not to consume anything from Buc-ee's in the future. I hope this issue is addressed to prevent others from encountering similar health concerns. | Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting See Less

SOFIA PRODUCE, LLC, of Nogales, Arizona which does business under the name “Trufresh” (“Trufresh”) is recalling all sizes of fresh cantaloupes packaged in cardboard containers labeled with the “Malichita” label, sold under the following sales order numbers between October 16, 2023 and October 23, 2023 because they... See More have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The Cantaloupes were distributed directly to the following States in the United States: Arizona, California, Maryland, New Jersey, Tennessee, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Texas, Florida and Canada. The Cantaloupes would have reached consumers through retail produce markets which may be located in states other than those listed above. There have been no reported illnesses associated with the subject cantaloupes, to date.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
The Cantaloupes are packaged in cardboard containers bearing the “Malichita” Label (picture attached). The cantaloupes also have an individual PLU sticker placed upon each cantaloupe in the form of the attached picture. As shown in the picture, the PLU sticker has a top half which is white which has the word “Malichita” written in script in black letters. The bottom of the PLU sticker is black and has the number “4050” prominently displayed in white letters together with the words “Product of Mexico/produit du Mexique”. This label will identify individual Malichita cantaloupes purchased by consumers.
Trufresh is performing this recall after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced a similar recall of cantaloupes packaged with the same Malichita label and bearing the same PLU due to possible salmonella contamination for cantaloupes sold to Fruits et Légumes Gaétan Bono. Trufresh’s investigation has revealed that the order numbers may have been associated with the cantaloupes sold to Fruits et Légumes Gaétan Bono.
