Probably: There are bacteria that could cause both food poisoning and UTI , or there is just coincidence an dhave two conditions in the same time . The numbers you listed are % and are not very usefull per se unless the total number of neutrophils is elevated.

WBC: Yes, most likely the neutrophil shift to 80 is due to infection and inflammation.
