It probably was for a few reasons.
1) The link between germs and disease was not commonly recognized until the late 19th century.
2) Poor hygiene, a general lack of clean water, and uncontrolled sewage.
3) Medieval food preservation could not always stop spoilage, and there was no refrigeration in warmer months.
4) Food can be bad before it looks and smells bad. People back then might not have known that food can go bad in as little as two hours at room temperature. Samuel Pepys reports in his diary one day that he ate meat for breakfast that was leftover from the night before... I wouldn't be surprised if he felt sick later that day.
