Symptoms vary depending on the cause, and are described below in this article. A few broad generalizations can be made, e.g.: The incubation period ranges from hours to days, depending on the cause and on how much was consumed. The incubation period tends to cause sufferers to not associate the symptoms with the item consumed, and so to cause sufferers to attribute the symptoms to gastroenteritis for example. Symptoms often include vomiting, fever, and aches, and may include diarrhea. Bouts of vomiting can be repeated with an extended delay in between, because even if infected food was eliminated from the stomach in the first bout, microbes (if applicable) can pass through the stomach into the intestine via cells lining the intestinal walls and begin to multiply. Some types of microbes stay in the intestine, some produce a toxin that is absorbed into the bloodstream, and some can directly invade deeper body tissues.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
The term foodborne illness covers all illnesses that are caused by eating contaminated food and illness that's brought on by allergic reactions to food.
So the contaminants can be allergenic, biological, chemical or physical.
"Food poisoning" is a specific type of foodborne illness that is connected to eating certain bacteria such as e coli for example. The symptoms of food poisoning can last as little as an hour or as long as several days. There are a few different symptoms including; nausea, stomach cramps or pain, diarrhoea, vomiting and possibly a fever. And even though the healthiest of people can get food poisoning there are certain groups of people who are more at risk than others because they have weaker immune systems. This includes young children, the elderly, pregnant women and unborn babies and people who are already ill or recovering from an illness. For these groups especially food poisoning is very dangerous and can even be fatal.
There are also certain foods that are known as high risk, meaning they are more likely to cause food poisoning because they are the ideal place for harmful bacteria to multiply. High-risk foods are usually three things; moist, rich in protein and ready to eat. For example you need to keep a special eye on things like shellfish, pre-cooked meat such as chicken and ham, milk, eggs, and dairy, and foods that contain these ingredients like soft cheese, cream and mayonnaise.
High risk foods need to be handled and stored with particular care. They should also have a use-by date on the label.
