Food Safety Report - Starbucks, Seaside California

1504 Canyon Del Rey Boulevard, Seaside, 93955 California, United States

On 9/1/22, I had been so busy cleaning and prepping my house for family coming to stay for my son’s upcoming 2nd birthday, that I hadn’t eaten anything besides a bit of plain yogurt & a half of a banana in the morning. It was approaching 1:30 pm, so I drove straight to this location drive thru to get my usual favorite: the sausage, cheddar & egg breakfast sandwich! About 40 mins. after eating the breakfast sandwich, I went into Home Goods, nearby, & was shopping for my son’s 2nd birthday gifts and home decor, when very suddenly I had severe abdominal cramping, & the need to use the toilet immediately!! I broke out in a sweat as I tried to walk it off, but the urge to run to the bathroom was too strong to resist. The pain was horrible! I never have had any digestive issues before, & since I hadn’t eaten much of anything that day, I knew right away that it was the this sandwich. I stayed in the bathroom on that toilet for a couple of hours. It was super strange, and even suspicious to the people & staff who waited and waited for me to come out and free up the only other toilet, but I never did… until I got it all out of me, I assumed… so I finally felt ok enough to try to walk back to my car, but once I left the bathroom I had a second intestinal attack, so I rushed back again. I had the full sweats again, the growling rumbling explosive sounds to go along with the diarrhea & painful cramping and twisting in my intestines. Lovely! That’s when I texted my partner that I had been food poisoned and that I’d be home asap, but not right away. I wear supposed to be out in Carmel valley already to pick up my daughter from school and to care for my toddler. The episode in the bathroom persisted until around 5:00 pm. (Several hours total) Then back at home, it continued for a day or 2 more. Now, 2.5 weeks later, I am having mucus in my stool, and other alarming symptoms. What the heck type of bacteria was that?! Yikes! | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Other
