Expired Organic Broccoli Illness - Trader Joe's, Cottonwood Heights Utah

5 years ago reported by user-wkktz433 business

organic broccoli florets
I ate the packaged organic broccoli florets. Yesterday was October 5th, 2020 and the package had best if used by October 05, 2020.
It also is stamped TFRG 263B07A 19:17.

I steamed the entire bag. Because they slightly overflowed the pot and steamer basket I was using, I did eat two of the florets uncooked and steamed the rest for 10-15 minutes.

I ate all of the cooked broccoli. That would have been around 7:00 pm. A few hours later, I felt bloated. I knew that something was “off.” I felt a chill and bundled myself up in my bed and commented to my girlfriend that I felt like I needed to vomit (an extremely rare occurrence for me; it has been years).

About an hour later (around 11:00 pm), I vomited aggressively. About 20-30 minutes, I vomited a second time. After that, I was confident that I had evacuated the contents of my stomach. I suspected that I wasn’t out of the woods.

About an hour-and-a-half later (around 1:00 am), I experienced diarrhea. Around 2:30 am, I experienced it a second time.

I slept well after that and aside from a scorched esophagus, I feel fine. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Vomiting, Bloating, Chills
