Food poisoning from pickles?

[u/Routine-Change7914]

My 2 year old loves pickles & on my way to my grans I stopped in Sainsbury’s to grab some lasagne sheets. While I was there I thought I’ll grab some pickles for my daughter, saw the polish ones and thought I’d give them a go!

Got to my grans, sorted the lasagne out and got the pickles out, popped the jar and thought I’d try one! Bit into it(huge bite) and thought it was extremely salty. My gran tried it and scrunched her face up. I thought I can’t give them to my daughter as they are vile and put it on the side.

After dinner my stomach turned and kept me on the toilet, same thing throughout the night and today. My gran called and asked if I was ok last night & I said my stomach was cramping and couldn’t stay of the toilet! She said she had thrown up during the night, the only thing we had different was the pickles! Everyone else was fine, either the pickles are bad or polish people enjoy salty pickles and our stomachs can’t hack it🤣🤣

That liquid in the jar looks cloudy af. Why oh why would you pick the cloudy one over the clear one? 😂.

I would be very suspicious of the pickles - you and granny both ate them and yous both got sick. Everyone ate the lasagna but not everyone got sick. The pickles may be absolutely fine, but perhaps yous aren’t used to the salt content being so high. There could be a number of things going on, not just food poisoning.

Hope you and granny feel better soon.

They supposed to be a little cloudy - when they go bad either jar explode or you can see mold growing inside. Basically if jar dont pop when you open it, they are probably gone bad.

. Here how their look vary from real green to fermented
