Seaweed Salad Food Poisoning

Seaweed Salad Food Poisoning

Seaweed salad, like other fresh produce, could be the source of food poisoning. In 2020, over 3,000 students in Japan fell ill after consuming seaweed salad that was contaminated with E.coli. Symptoms of an E.coli infection start 2-7 days after the consumption, and are characterized by diarrhea and abdominal cramps.

I only ordered California rolls and seaweed salad. The seaweed salad color seemed off. It seemed way to green and artificial. It tasted OK so I ate half of it. Several hours later I had stomach pain, cramps, bloating, and vomiting that lasted several hours  | Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting, Cramps, Bloating, Stomach Pain

I ate seaweed salad around 10:30 pm. I had ordered the salad a few hours before along with sushi (tiger roll and veggi roll) and their chicken wings. I ate maybe 1/4-1/3 of the salad before putting it away and ate the rest at 10:30. I could… See more

I ordered two scoops of raw tuna on half rice and half salad. There was also seaweed salad and ginger and pickled cucumbers. I’m pretty sure it was the salad or the tuna I started getting diarrhea the next morning and then started throwing up about 24 hours after I ate it  | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Vomiting
