Product: Chorizo

“I ordered their chorizo skillet with eggs, potatoes and chorizo. I took two bites and thought the food taste odd. Not fresh or something. Paid 11.99 for it. I couldn’t finish my breakfast., I ate breakfast around, 9 am this morning.I noticed symptoms around 6 pm this evening ”

“We ate there and I had the breakfast wrap with chorizo. Was throwing up with diarrhea for 4 hours, Just myself, no one else ate what I did. Symptoms started about three hours after ”

“Last night, I had a build your own with tofu chorizo, goat cheese, regular cheese, bacon and lots of veggies. I woke early in the morning very nauseous, vomited, headache and had to miss work. My husband an grandson had different pizza and they did not get ill. I think... See More it was either the chorizo, goat cheese or veggies. So sad cause I love, but I feel so sick. ”

“I ordered the soy chorizo tacos and loaded fries (no egg or protein). this was my first meal of the day. an hour after i had eaten i had severe intestinal discomfort which turned into over 9hrs of agony. i had to leave work early because of the diarrhea, vomiting... See More & pain! I know if i report it to the restaurant they will just deny and defend their business. Im not sure which food item made me sick? Ive eaten there every week for lunch and never had any issues. However, this saddens me as i am afraid to return. ”

“Morningstar Veggie Chorizo (frozen). Ate at 6pm and by 1am was vomiting my brains out. This was the only item that only I ate, and I was only one to get sick so it has to be this item. ”
