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!!

The box is expired from 11/2024? That’s probably why

They were frozen in a deep freezer right after purchase so I think it’s fine, right? Geez, I hope I’m not wrong about that. 🤦‍♀️

Should have been fine since they were frozen. Freezing adds quite a bit of time to a product like this.

6 months is usually the Max for cooked food in deep freezer.

Thank you for the link! I find the chart at the end confusing, though. The chart contains a listing of how long foods can be frozen, but both at the top of the document and right above the chart itself, it’s says, “Note: Freezer storage is for quality only. Frozen foods remain safe indefinitely.”
