How long does it take for you to get symptoms of food poisoning?

Answer 1

This all depends on how fast your body processes the food, generally the average is around, about 8 hours maybe a couple less. It can take anywhere from 6 hours to 48 hours after being exposed to contaminated food. There are many causes of foodborne illness. Ingested toxins can hit very quickly within a couple hours. Ingested microbes can take a while to build up the effect - which can mean days or even weeks. See Related Links.
Symptoms can occur within an hour; or can take as long as 36 hours to appear.

Answer 2

The vast majority of food poisoning cases are not fatal but are so mild that they are mistaken for stomach flu.

In fatal cases it depends on both the type of organism and strain of that organism. Even the most lethal usually take days to result in death.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the US every year, about 48 million people contract foodborne illness, and only about 3,000 of them die.
