I bought a quiche loraine from Aldi's last week, it was unfrozen but carefully refrigerated. In case you don't know, quiche loraine is sort of like a pieshell filled with cheese omelet ingredients and baked like an apple pie. I baked it 5 minutes longer than the directions said, and it tasted yummy.
But later that night I had a stomach ache and indigestion with more problems the next morning. All I could think was that the quiche gave me a mild case of food poisoning. Could have been worse, but I don't get sick very often.
