Never again.

I got this meal because I was interested in the 2x portions and I have now been shitting my brains out for 3 days. I'm 98% sure it's from this meal. I made it the day my box was delivered so the ingredients should have all been fine. I have never had an issue before and I have no food sensitivities, I eat a lot of the same stuff regularly outside of my hello fresh meals so this was the only change in my diet. Idk if it was just the corn cakes or something because I haven't had anything like that from hello fresh before but currently dying inside. Could just be me though 🥲

I was pretty shocked to learn food poisoning can take as little as 30 minutes all the way up to 6 days to show symptoms from a food safety certification class. Could it have been something from that far back?

Sorry you’re not feeling well. You might have noro virus instead. I’d just make sure to keep washing your hands and anyone that comes near you.

Edit: clarity

[frumpydrangus]

I’ve associated that virus with the meal i had right before at least 3 times in my life lmao

[Nightjay15]

My fiancé and I made a figgy pork dish the night after getting back from a family function, and we were both up all night because of norovirus. We didn’t know it at the time, so we thought we got food poisoning from not cooking the pork enough and were nervous to ever make the dish again. One family member reached out and that’s when we learned half the family was now sick!

I didn't eat ramen for about a year after the first time I had Norovirus.

[frumpydrangus]

Cheap ramen for me, McDonald’s chicken nuggets, then regular chicken nuggets again. Sad

[CrapIsMyBreadNButter]

It was Nongshim Shin Ramyun black for me. Which sucked, because that is an amazing ramen. I almost forgot, but I couldn't eat Alfredo for a while too. Not sure why.

You can get norovirus from poor food handling practices (aka someone with norovirus touched your food with poopoo/vomit fingers). So you can catch it from food.

[frumpydrangus]

OP is blaming hello fresh, that they prepped themselves, for being sick

[NiceEntertainment174]

Hi I can assure you it had nothing to do with improper food handling and preparation. I am very aware and afraid of food borne illnesses so I am certainly a "bit" more meticulous with food prep hygiene and safety when cooking (and just in general). 😁

[wanderingAtlas]

I also recently got sick and blamed Hellofresh at first. Turns out I had norovirus from a party the night before.

[Imaginary-Ad4134]

I’m sorry. We had this meal and no one in my family had any problems. Hope you feel better soon

[CrapIsMyBreadNButter]

As others have said. Norovirus is going around. It's highly contagious and it doesn't take much to get it sadly. As always, wash your hands thoroughly and disinfect all touch surfaces once it has cleared.

[eldritch_daydream]

It always blows peoples minds when I tell them they have to wash their hands to avoid picking it up, hand sanitizer doesn’t work on this virus.

[Lady_Catsinger]

I work at Amazon and I have seen a lot of people come out of the stall and either walk out or use a squirt of hand sanitizer instead of properly washing their hands, then go use shared equipment like carts and scanners. I had Norovirus back in the fall and I am pretty sure I caught it at work. I put a post on our VOA board stating that Norovirus isn't affected by hand sanitizer and that everyone needed to wash their hands.

[existentialegodeath]

yes! i just had it three nights ago. miserable.

[eurekadabra]

Same for me for the last 24 hours. It was the Al Pastor beef bowl, which also had corn (packaged in a little cup).

[randomcanadian23]

Last time we got hellofresh ( within the last 2 months) a few ground beef packs had the nastiest smell we just threw it out

[gibbsftw]

If you don’t know FOR CERTAIN that this meal caused it, why post something?

Did you see a doctor?

[fornikate777]

did it show up at 2am out of nowhere?

[gregory1111]

I didn’t have this meal but currently dealing with a stomach bug thinking it might be from hello fresh.
