    It is possible to get food poisoning from pasta. Once it is cooked, pasta is a food poisoning risk even after reheating from heat resistant toxins formed by Bacillus cereus bacteria. Symptoms can include stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, seldom vomiting, but no fever and can be deadly if untreated.

    Food positing at Olive Garden in Erie Pa. Ate there Saturday afternoon and within 8 hrs developed violent voniting for 12 hrs straight. I had Angel hair pasta with meatballs and mushroom sauce. I assume either the mushroom sauce or the meatballs were bad. Most likely the... See More mushrooms as that’s mostly what I vomited. There appeared to be a small piece of shrimp in the vomit which I hadn’t ordered so must have been mixed in and tainted my food. I was visiting from Canada and was well.
