kipiarov [429]

Inform the Health Department of the accusation of a foodborne illness and describe the actions to them and notify the owners and others on the management team of the incident.

Foodborne illness is caused by consuming tainted foods or beverages. Foods can be contaminated by a wide range of pathogens or disease-causing bacteria, leading to a wide range of foodborne illnesses.

There are many similarities between the symptoms of 24-hour stomach flu and those of a foodborne infection, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, and headache. The digestive tract might suffer from excessive drinking and/or eating, particularly when rich foods are consumed outside of one's normal diet.

Symptoms of food poisoning typically take several hours to several days to emerge, depending on the pathogen.
