False - Food poisoning can take some time to develop into a full fledged sickness. The incubation period can range from perhaps as little as an hour up to several days (and rarely months or even years, such as in the case of listeriosis - up to two months later or bovine spongiform encephalopathy - aka "mad cow disease - 2.5 to 5 years).
Most people who experience a foodborne illness tend to assume it came from the last thing they ate. Public Health officials have a hard time nailing down the cause of an illness because people can't remember everything and everywhere they ate during the time from from exposure to illness onset. That is one reason why some outbreaks don't have the source revealed.
