Hi, Colleen
Yes, it is possible to become ill 1 hour or more after eating a food contaminated with certain bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus. This bacteria produces a toxin that can cause symptoms including vomiting and diarrhea. The FDA Bad Bug Book is a good resource for more information.
I had this intoxication after eating clam chowder, and know the symptoms can be rapid and violent.
Please let me know if I can provide more information.
best regards
Mark
