What do I do?? I don't want my friends to get sick.?

I made lemon chicken last night for some guests that are staying overnight. I made homemade noodles and mushroom gravy to go with it. I sauteed my mushrooms and then added my thickening. Everything was going fine till I poured in some of my homemade chicken broth. After I poured it in I realized it had gone bad. Real bad, so I kinda panicked and poured the pan into a colander. I didn't know what to do when my friend came in and said are these the mushrooms for the gravy and put them back in the pan and added the chicken broth for me. I added more thickening and it actually turned out very good, but I worried all night about someone getting sick or salmonella or whatever you get. Now everyone wants me to make biscuits and the leftover gravy for breakfast. What do I do???

Update:

Ok Assbas, I know I'm terrible, I feel awful about it but I panicked didn't know what to do. After they ate it, it was too late to say anything and now they want more.

    About Food Poisoning:

    Function

    Food poisoning results when someone eats or drinks something that contains bacteria or another type of toxin. Food poisoning can also be caused by viruses and parasites. Certain chemicals can also cause food poisoning. However, most people develop food poisoning as a result of bacteria, viruses, or parasites.

    Effects

    The most common symptom of food poisoning is nausea. Diarrhea is a very common symptom as well. Other symptoms may include pain in the abdomen, cramping of the stomach, loss of appetite, fatigue and fever. Symptoms depend on the organism or toxin that led to the case of food poisoning and the health of the indiviudal at the start of the episode.

    Prevention/Solution

    Usually, symptoms are mild to moderate, though undoubtedly unpleasant, and a person can just wait for them to stop, resting and trying to stay hydrated during the course of the illness. However, some cases of food poisoning become so severe that it is necessary for the patient to be checked into a hospital for treatment. This can occur when a person is unable to hold water in his system for proper body function.

    Time Frame

    Symptoms of food poisoning will often show up within just a few hours of eating contaminated food. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes, food poisoning may show up days after the tainted food has been consumed. Generally speaking, a person can expect his symptoms of food poisoning to disappear within 10 days. Some episodes last for one day.

    Warning

    There are certain risks factors that make a person more likely to develop food poisoning after eating contaminated food. Elderly people may be more at risk because their immune systems may not be as strong or efficient they had been when they were younger. Likewise, babies and very young children are also more at risk. Pregnant women experience changes in the digestion and processing of food, which can lead to an increased chance of food poisoning. Additionally, those with serious or chronic conditions may also be more susceptible. For example, someone who is fighting AIDS, living with liver disease or undergoing cancer treatment may have a less efficient immune system response.
