I ordered a toasted ham and cheese sandwich on the flight. The toastie had to be heated up and was sad and soggy when I received it. It was the only thing I had eaten that morning. I got off at Cairns to catch another flight. Stomach cramps began immediately in Cairns. I drank water only after that. Cramps continued during the next flight. Could not eat. I had to lay down when arrived at destination 3 hours later I was so ill. At 9pm that evening I was projectile vomiting. I had several episodes during the night and the early morning. I was suffering. I could feel myself improving during the next day so I did not consult a doctor, as I suspected it was food poisoning from the toastie.
I contacted Jetstar and they said they would respond within 15 days which they did. They denied it was them and it must have been something else I ate. Their procedures and 'exacting standards' couldn't possibly have caused the food poisoning. After several email exchanges and denials by Jetstar I asked them to answer one simple question:
"...Am I to understand that you saying it is impossible for your food to be contaminated? Please respond to this specific question..."
They didn't respond.

I flew jetstar this morning
I flew jetstar this morning and had the ham cheese toasty - guess what? Sick as a dog!
Hey, I also had the ham &
Hey, I also had the ham & cheese toastie on the flight on Monday and had been bed ridden for 24 hours with some nasty symptoms. Cramps, vomiting, diarrhoea, the works. Terrible to think that Jetstar just outright deny this stuff.
