“Do not cook in this air fryer. You will get food poisoning,” she warned in the video.
Jonesy said that after eating food cooked in an air fryer and going to work, she felt stomach cramps and the urge to vomit, making her “feel sick.”
“I get in my car, and I’m literally on the highway heading home, and I feel really bad,” she said. “High alert: I vomited all over the car.”

Jonesy said she cooked chicken and hamburgers in the air fryer within the past two weeks, and both made her feel sick. Also, since it is cooked at a high temperature, it is not overcooked.
“I don’t know if the temperature on the label or display doesn’t match how hot it is, but I’m starting to feel sick,” she continued.
Nevertheless, many air fryer users may be surprised by the cooking machine’s poor ability to kill bacteria commonly found in raw meat. This increases the risk of food poisoning.a recent research They compared the levels of salmonella in breaded chicken strips prepared using four different appliances: an air fryer, a deep fryer, a toaster oven, and a conventional oven. Air fryers were less effective at eliminating bacteria than deep fryers.
Ultimately, the TikToker decided to no longer use the machine and urged others not to use it either. The exact cause of her illness remains unknown.
In the comments section, many viewers questioned the woman’s claims.
User Rolltidefevr commented, “The food is undercooked.” “It’s not an air fryer.”
Another viewer agreed: “Something tells me it’s not an air fryer.”
User Deborah McCabe said: “That’s a bold statement.” “Probably not the fryer, but the food.”
