Thanks for your help in trying to determine if I had food poisoning. I appreciate the information board on what others experienced so I could see if maybe that what was going on with me. And the recall information is so important. Thank you!

Excellent service, very professional, empathetic and helpful in guiding ne through the process on submitting my report. Thanks to all involved, much appreciated.

My “event” happened on a Saturday night, and the county health department was closed on Sunday. So it was helpful to be able to report the event with all of details right away. And what I didn’t realize is that the local health department gets all of the reports to “iwaspoisoned”, so I didn’t have to wonder if the info was recorded officially, nor did I have to resubmit the data. The health department just called me with a few more specific questions, and that was it.

Thank you for the informed follow-up to my food poisoning report I submitted just yesterday (16 dec), very quick response. I've never gotten hit with this before. I'm a local NYC resident who loves bagels, surprise. Turns out my fav place was and has been a rat infested multi violation the years kind of place. And foolish me just thought the place had "character". Your site has good info, resources and that quiz thing that is great because going through that makes you feel more informed about the specific nature of what you got hit with. There are many versions of this apparently with some being more dangerous than others. So it was comforting to feel like I was getting better specifics for my particular situation. At first I was seeking info, I also wanted to report the bagel store. Even though the place had been shut down I wanted to let others know, find some way of knowing how many others has similar experiences there and wanted to have some impact on the store owner. Reporting to the NYC DOH was a joke. It goes into some vast bureaucrat black hole and due to "privacy concerns" you can't even get stats on how many other reports there may have been. So unsurprisingly, a bureaucratic dead end. I made several posts on Reddit and local news blogs but that's just glorified bitching. Thank you for providing a useful resource during a stressful experience in an otherwise Internet desert of black holes. Cheers to eating at home, brown bagging lunch and washing your veggies very very well. Matt in NYC

I'm really glad the response was quick and ultimately helpful, I wasn't planning on going to urgent care unless it got worse and they just confirmed exactly what I'm already doing to help the problem with helpful tips and a good timeline to go by.

I made a post and they took it seriously and responded immediately, I am. Very grateful for their help and confident in my recovery steps.

Hi! I am recently retired. I have reported one instance of food poisoning from a frozen meal product. Whenever I get an email from IwasPoisoned about cheese or sandwich meats, I check out refrigerator. One time I did find some recalled shredded cheese in our fridge. Due to reading all of the email reports, I now avoid all Chicken Tender meals & Boneless Chicken meals from fast food restaurants. I also avoid salad kits & uncooked bean sprouts. Also, I have learned symptoms of Listeriosis don’t appear for three weeks to 70days from the time one eats a Listeria tainted food. Thank you!

Contestaron rapidísimo. Mencionaron al restaurante que nombré y me informaron de denuncias anteriores Me recomendaron como actuar y cuando ir al médico

Shut Taco bell down w. 95th Street. I get sick from just typing this. Drive thru Friday afternoon I after 430pm before 6pm ordered Taco box; two cinnamon tings. I ate the Doritos taco six hours later felt like I was dying the vomit was coming out like a damn cartoon. Not funny..... I'm taking the rest of this shit back and I'm getting my money. This is shameful. All theses damn places and lost their minds. I should have known the dum was empty. I don't eat Taco bell never ever.

I appreciate the emails with issues that are reported on products and specific businesses. It is helpful to be aware on a timely basis.

I like that l can find out what places l go have things happening. I am on a pension. So this help me out a lot. Thank you

I have small children that I want to keep safe! I always check my messages for current recalls to be sure I am informed about current recalls, when shopping & eating out!

It is good to know what people are saying about food they consumed in my area that became sick

Normally I wouldn't care but a few years ago my disabled daughter got horribly sick and we couldn't figure out why. It wasn't until we looked up things that we found recall on Lucky Charms. Needless to say cut it out and she got better. I have seen and bought several items that was reported for example the peanut butter. Now I read every single email. Check my products. I'm so grateful for their app, email, support for any questions asked. It is extremely comforting to know that iwaspoisoned is on top of everything. Give it a try I promise you won't be disappointed.

I went to the Kahala McDonald’s and had a cheeseburger Happy Meal. Two hours later, I broke out in a cold sweat and felt nauseous. An ambulance was called. I was taken to the ER. The food gave me diarrhea. Was told I had food poisoning.

Thank you for your reply. Your website is helping the community to stay save from virus and bacteria in our grocery stores. It also give a good reputation to the store de be properly monitored and clean. Thank you again

I frequent Publix...ALOT! There was no notice about the recall on Boar's Head deli meats posted when I went in a few weeks ago for my weekly sub. I mentioned the email your site sent and the deli worker was not aware while another one (wasn't making much sandwich) advised they were told about the recall in a morning meeting. I opted for the Publix brand deli meat and potentially saved myself a stomach virus. Thank you!!!

I’ve had food poisoning several times with fast food. I should stay away from them. It’s no fun. It’s amazing how many places are involved. What are they doing or not.

I am a person concerned about safety of food handling and processing. This service helps to warn us about entities that have recalls and unsafe food products. I wish that every person who has food poisoning would be encouraged to share on this platform and that the establishments would be held accountable if their food was deemed unsafe.

Your service truly helps keep the public safe. Thank you!
