I purchased the Balela Trader Joe’s chickpea (garbanzo) salad on March 12th (exp. 3/16/24) and ate it around 7pm the same day. I woke up in the middle of the night with extreme stomach pains, nausea, and dizziness. I had a slight fever until I vomitted the … See More
salad in its entirety. I will return all items from Trader Joe’s out of fear of this happening again. So so sad and disappointed.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting, Fever, Dizziness, Stomach Pain

Ordered:
• “Fish Sticks” for my 4yr old.
• Shrimp burrito for my wife.
• 3-piece fish ‘n chips for myself.
With a tip cost $62.52
Pricy for what it was.

~ 5:20pm our food arrived.
My kid immediately didn’t want his meal and … See More
only ate French fries and lemon wedges. His “fish sticks” were actually a small order of fish ‘n chips and he described them as “too wiggly” - they were soggy. I am grateful he actually didn’t eat it.
My wife liked her shrimp burrito until the last bite, which she said tasted weird and spit it out.
I was ok with my fish ‘n chips - even though it was indeed soggy - until I let it settle for a few minutes and it never actually settled. We left and after about 30 minutes I started to feel even more nauseous and vomited while shopping at a grocery store.
Went immediately home - another hour drive - and stopped about 4 times along the way so that I could vomit even more. By this time my entire body was aching, especially all of my joints, and my head was pounding.
I ran a fever up to 103.2°f.
Heavy chills, shaking, and sweating.
More vomiting.
Severe headache.
Even my testicles hurt.
Aching pain in hips, knees, ankles, elbows, wrists, jaw, neck.
My eyes hurt so bad.
I had to call out of work the next day and the day after that as well. 2 days lost of pay and the price of the meal down the toilet. The WORST case of food poisoning I have ever had.
Once we arrived home my wife started to feel ill as well and vomited numerous times. She also developed the joint and muscle pain. Luckily it only lasted one day for her.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting, Fever, Headache, Chills, Sweating, Muscle Pain, Shaking, Joint Pain

On June 16th I stopped at a convenience store (2240 Encinitas Blvd) and picked up a bag of Lay's Salt & Vinegar potato chips. The "guaranteed fresh" date on the bag said July 18, 2023, so the bag certainly was within "fresh" deadline. I ate half the … See More
bag, then went to sleep. I woke up a few hours later with a terrible rumbling in my gut, feeling nauseated, and having cold sweats. I rushed to the bathroom, and for the next hour my body purged the Lays via both diarrhea and vomiting. At one point, I felt so bad that I considered calling for an ambulance. The worst of it was over after an hour, but it's been 36 hours since that and my gut is still not fully recovered. I will NEVER eat Lays again.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Sweating

The Reese’s white eggs. Some were fine but some tasted like gasoline or paint. Very strong and significant. I got nauseous, had a horrible headache, and threw up. I kept the last egg in the package and also have a whole unopened bag I’m not going to eat. It’s horrible.  | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Headache, Gas
