Viral food poisoning is caused by pathogens like viruses (e.g., norovirus or hepatitis A) that contaminate food or water, leading to gastrointestinal symptoms. In contrast, chemical food poisoning occurs due to the ingestion of toxic substances, such as pesticides or heavy metals, often found in contaminated food. Vegetable food poisoning typically refers to illnesses caused by bacteria or toxins associated with produce, such as E. coli or Salmonella. While all forms can lead to similar symptoms, their sources and underlying causes differ significantly.
