Hello, iam Denise Bartley, Don’t worry, it’s one day closer to the weekend.

Ugh, I’m not feeling so hot after eating that frozen food. Talk about a stomachache! I guess it’s true what they say: you get what you pay for. Anyway, I’m gonna have to take it easy for a while and hope this passes soon.

Why Do I Feel Sick After Eating Frozen Food? [Solved]

Yikes! Frozen food can be a real danger - Listeria, a pathogen that can survive freezing, is the most common cause of food poisoning. And it’s not just theoretical - in July 2021, there was an outbreak related to frozen fully cooked chicken that resulted in three hospitalizations and sadly, one death.

  1. Avoid Eating Frozen Foods: Eating frozen foods can make you feel sick if they are not properly cooked or stored. Make sure to follow the instructions on the packaging and cook frozen foods thoroughly before eating them.

  2. Check Expiration Dates: Always check expiration dates on frozen food packages before purchasing and consuming them. If a product is expired, it may contain bacteria that can make you ill if consumed.

  3. Store Properly: Make sure to store frozen foods in a freezer at 0°F or below to prevent spoilage and foodborne illness caused by bacteria growth.

  4. Reheat Thoroughly: When reheating frozen foods, make sure to heat them until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F or higher in order to kill any potential bacteria that may be present in the food item.

  5. Discard Leftovers: If you have leftovers from a meal made with frozen food, discard them within two hours of cooking as bacteria can grow quickly at room temperature and cause illness if consumed later on down the line

I’m feeling queasy after eating frozen food - it’s not sitting right with me. Ugh, I should’ve known better!
