Health Center » FDA Questions of the Week

Answer:

Yes. Foodborne illness often causes flu-like symptoms such as nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, or fever, so many people may not recognize that the
illness is caused by bacteria or other pathogens in food.
Experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report
that many of the intestinal illnesses commonly referred to as stomach flu
are actually caused by foodborne pathogens. People do not associate these
illnesses with food because the onset of symptoms often occurs two or more
days after the contaminated food was eaten.
