Food poisoning is an illness caused by eating contaminated food. It is usually not serious, and most people recover within a few days without treatment.
Symptoms typically begin within 1 to 2 days of eating contaminated food, but they can start anywhere from a few hours to several weeks later.
This form is for reporting concerns about food businesses only.
