I’m a vegetarian – can I still get food poisoning?

Yes. A wide range of foods can cause food poisoning if they are not handled properly, including raw eggs, sauces and desserts that include raw eggs (such as home-made ice-cream), and even salads and vegetables that will be eaten raw. For more information on the common errors that lead to food poisoning, please see food preparation.
