what are legal my options ? Food items bought gave me food poisoning and severe stomach pains, items had expired 5 months ago and still shipped to me

So sorry to hear what happened to you.  You might want to write to the company that shipped you the food and let them know it shipped you expired food, that you became sick, etc.  If you incurred any medical bills you can ask them to reimburse you but they would be under no legal obligaiton to do so.  Unfortunately, unless you sustained a serious, permanent injury, the time and expense of prosecuting a lawsuit would not be justified.  Also, keep in mind that if you knowingly consumed expired food there's probably not much you can do.   Best regards,   Jonathan R.
