Ham Food Poisoning

“Chef Boyardee canned ravioli  I didn’t eat dinner as I wasn’t hungry Earlier in evening so around 11-11:30pm before going to bed I ate a can of the chef Boyardee ravioli and 15 min after that I was in bathroom with diarrhea and a bucket to vomit and was so... See More nauseous. And the pain in my stomach was awful I was screaming and crying out to my husband because I didn’t know what was happening. Broke out in a sweat and actually got a little blurry-eyed which was really scary. I thought husband may have to call an ambulance. Eventually I was able to crawl out bathroom to lay down. STAY AWAY from these food products something is deadly wrong!! Shame on them for selling food that makes people sick!!   ”
