Plus most food poisonings would not occur immediately after consumption of the meal in question. In addition, I'm wondering how much harm a completely cooked burger can do.

I use the flounge most weeks (T3 or T5) and 9 times out of 10 I have the burger. The T5 flounge uses the same kitchen as the CCR and I've had no ill effects.

If only there was some sort of independent report which shows how good the CCR's food safety has been...

Kindly guested to the CCR so I had a chance to sample the duck. It wasn't a bad choice at all ^
It was maybe a bit smaller than I expected but I believe the dishes are sized adequately to allow you to have starter, main and dessert without feeling like you just won all-you-can-eat competition.
And one reminder if anyone is not aware: You can get anything from GF lounge manu/buffet too. Lovely CCR lady delivered the pork belly with a big smile. Needless to say I had a big smile after this CCR experience too

nah
As for food poisoning or not, referencing other comments, one totally will experience this within about three hours of consumption, that is classic food poisoning. Can't say though whether it is salmonella or ecoli specific, but regardless both present rather quickly. And, that is exactly when/how it presented. We were at least 20 hours from food in india, so that wouldn't be it.
Somewhere on some thread here in the BA forum there is a clear report of health code deficiencies at the CCR in LHR. It didn't surprise me at all.
Now, when I'm there next february are we going to sit down and have bfast or lunch, for shoah... same for the trip in Sept to SA.. But, I'm going to be very careful and since they had the british health department after them, I'm sure their practices for food storage and preparation have probably been taken up a notch.

So, in GB there really isn't something called a "completely cooked burger", ecoli takes quite a bit of temperature to effectively kill.

Reading the posts from the CCR/BA regulars make us (regulars) sound like we have an iron stomach or weird immunity against harmful microbes something but I have so far never had any food poisoning incident that was linked to BA either.
Norovirus being extremely infectious I do worry about it a little, but in fact more worried about making contact with it in the loo etc (of course I wash my hands!).

Despite what Edwina Currie may think; the chance of it being salmonella via eggs in the mayo in are incredibly slim.
Most food poisoning is actually caused by fresh leafy veg which hasn't been cleaned properly (soil contains all sorts of nasty microbes)
