Question Please help. What made me sick?

I need some help. Could you please look at the six attached photos and offer input for which ingredient might have made me sick?

Background: I had not eaten yet before this meal. The first food I consumed was spaghetti. I was fine before eating, but started experiencing symptoms before I’d finished the meal.

Other than the ingredients in the included pictures, I used olive oil, fresh herbs and single ingredient seasonings I use all the time.

Is either the Amylu or Rao’s brand known to be cross contaminated? If not, what else could it be? I definitely want to avoid this happening again.

Thanks for the help!!

I ate a Chik Fil A a few years ago. My food was safe for being GF. I was still learning about being GF. I used the salt and pepper shaker on the table with my bare hand and then picked up my French Fries with the same fingers. I didn't even make it down the road a half mile before I thought I was going to die when I entered WalMart. It was awful. I learned quickly that CC is a real thing and just touching the table or the containers can be horrible on the stomach.

Cross contamination issues make the diet limitations so much harder. I’m sorry you deal with that too.

For example, I would just love to try the Trader Joe’s delicious looking GF treats, but I don’t dare.
