Danger : Potential presence of Norovirus
Food poisoning caused by Norovirus results in gastrointestinal disorders often accompanied by symptoms of acute gastroenteritis (sudden onset of vomiting, nausea and/or diarrhea sometimes associated with abdominal cramps, moderate fever, chills, body aches and headaches). These symptoms appear after 10 to 50 hours after consumption. Pregnant women should be especially alert to these symptoms, as well as immunocompromised people, small children and the elderly.
