Answer 2

Yes, although "administered" isn't quite the right word. "Transmitted" would be a better way to describe such an illness. Food can certainly transmit microbes causing illness, such as E. coli; parasites such as the trichina worm, rare these days but still a possibility; or allergens, which can cause an anaphylactic reaction.
