For the entire day i hadn’t eaten. The only food I ate for the day was the banquet pizza made mega which was purchased at approximately 9pm, and later eaten that night at 10:30pm.

I cooked my pizza in the oven for the recommended amount of time at the correct temperature. 425 for 20 minutes. The pizza came out of the oven and I ate it with a fork that was clean out of the drawer. Throughout the night I experienced cramping in my stomach and relatively bad gas starting around 1am. It is now 11:18 am and I am experiencing sever symptoms. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Gas, Cramps See Less

Banquet Mac n Cheese and Spaghetti, First I ate the Mac n cheese. It was disgusting. It was so watery with 0 flavor. I added my own cheese and milk to help it taste better because the noodles were fine. Next morning I had the spaghetti, was... See More also incredibly watered down and had not much flavor. The meatballs were okay, sauce was 60% water so it tasted like a wet tomato. That was the final straw to destroy my insides. Was in the bathroom with the runs, it all dropped out of me like a waterfall out of my butt. It hurt pretty bad. Never buy cheap frozen meals, kids. I only bought them because I thought I could trust the reviews, but I should have done my research and seen that most Banquet brand foods have been recalled MULTIPLE TIMES over the years. We also got chicken nuggets but those are safe, but NOT the patties. Only nuggets. Not much else to say but don't eat frozen food that comes out as a watery, sloppy mess. 2 days later and I'm finally getting over my ppisoning. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Other See Less
