Infection: Food poisoning doesn't cause a fever. This is an infection and would benefit from a physician evaluation if not improving.

Fever and vomiting: Some food poisoning does have fever associated with it. The time of onset of symptoms and history of other people who had the same food getting simialr symptoms can help. Also, viral gastroenteritis usually does not have blood in the stools. There is usually otyher children/adults who have been sick with viral gastorenteritis as well.
