The Appeals Panel reversed and rendered, holding as a matter of law that the claimant did not sustain a compensable injury. Although the hearing officer found that the claimant’s food poisoning occurred while she was working out of town and timely notice was given, the Panel concluded the illness was an ordinary disease of life to which the general public is equally exposed and not an occupational disease under the Act. Because the illness did not arise out of and originate in the employer’s business, it was not compensable.
