At least 100 people got food poisoning after sitting down to dinner at a wedding in Mexico.

Footage of the incident was posted to TikTok in a video, which has since been taken down.

Seriously ill guests were seen being helped into ambulances.

Around 80 people became so ill that they had to be taken to hospital, with images showing paramedics treating patients.

Among the guests at the dinner in Cuernavaca, Mexico on Saturday night was Aranza Rodríguez.

Aranza was rushed to a hospital being run by the Red Cross, where she received treatment for a bacterial infection.

Speaking to Mexican newspaper Proceso, Aranza revealed that she had been attending the wedding as one of the groom's guests.

The party had started at around 4pm, and food was scheduled to be served at 6pm.

But when she arrived at the venue between 8pm and 9pm, she saw that many guests were already experiencing 'aggravated symptoms'.

These included diarrhoea, vomiting, headaches, and stomach pains.

Aranza described how she had eaten food at around 10pm, eating wild mushrooms with goat's cheese and tomato coulis to start.

She remembers that she then had chicken breast stuffed with spinach, tarragon, and sweet potato purée, and asparagus.

Aranza said that she is not sure exactly which of the courses she ate made her sick, but said that she had to be carried away.

She added that she was not sure how she had arrived in hospital, where she was placed on an IV.

Several guests were released from hospital after four to five hours, but news outlet Azteca Noticias reported that several guests were still in hospital as of Monday.

A number of videos of the incident surfaced showing how chaos unfolded as people became ill from the food.

One video from the wedding reception showed two women on a chair appearing to have just thrown up.

It's not clear which part of the menu caused guests to become sick.

Aranza went on to add that both the bride and groom have provided assistance to guests who became sick at the party.

NHS guidance advises that if you get food poisoning you should stay at home and drink lots of water to avoid dehydration.

Food poisoning can occur due to many causes, such as food not being cooked properly, eaten after it's gone bad, or being left out too long.

UNILAD has reached out to the company which catered the wedding for comment.
