This is quickly followed by an ominous stomach-churning, then 24 hours of violent illness – to put it lightly.
Cases of dreaded food poisoning are rising in the UK and US, despite improving health and safety measures.
This has become more apparent in recent weeks after one Brit died in March after she caught listeriosis through a contaminated cheese.
Listeriosis is a rare infection caused by bacteria called listeria.
You can get it from lots of types of food, but it’s mainly a problem with chilled, ready-to-eat foods.This week, Muller which manufactures Cadbury-branded desserts has recalled a number of items from its product line.
