    Popcorn could be the source of food poisoning. In 2012, ready-to-eat popcorn was recalled due to contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that leads to food poisoning and severe illness. Listeria can be especially harmful to pregnant women, people over the age of 65, and those with weakened immune systems.

    Took my partner to see Dune 2 for his birthday and we ordered the half carmel and half cheese flavored popcorn. After the movie I just felt tired and weak, really warm and stomach was upset. Doubt we'll be returning to that AMC. The staff had their hands all in the popcorn with NO GLOVES. | Symptoms: Nausea, Weakness See Less

    My husband picked me up the foot long chili cheese dog for lunch yesterday. By that afternoon I had really bad cramps and diarrhea. I couldn't eat dinner and I just woke up still feeling the cramps and having to go to the bathroom a lot. Very... See More liquid feces. I ate once yesterday and it was just this sonic chili dog. My husband had popcorn chicken and he's fine.

    The chili is my suspect. It was a super dark color, almost no cheese on top and it didn't taste like before. It wasn't good. Never again am I ordering it. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Cramps
