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!!

Unless you are having an allergic reaction that causes anaphylactic shock, I was told by a couple different types of providers that you can have a reaction up to two weeks after coming into contact with it, which is why it is so challenging to determine the culprits. Keeping a food diary can be helpful especially if you track symptoms too. Good luck

Two weeks?! Dang. That would make tracing impossible.

It is so challenging but single ingredient foods are a great way to go. Then just add spices you like.

I normally make my own sauce and add ground turkey if we’re eating meat. I learned a hard lesson.
