At least it's not the swine flu.

Penelope Cruz was sidelined by food poisoning while in Cannes, France, on Monday but has recovered, a source tells Usmagazine.com.

See who showed up to the Cannes Film Festival last year.

The Oscar-winning actress felt well enough to attend the Art of Elysium Hollywood Domino party Monday evening, and she chatted with friends before stepping out.

"She left after 30 minutes because she wasn't feeling great," a source tells Us.

Cruz, who was at the film festival to premiere her movie, Broken Embraces, was also scheduled to promote clips from her upcoming musical, Nine. She was slated to present a trailer and teaser for the film with Harvey Weinstein, but Cruz was too sick to make an appearance.

"She's got some kind of food poisoning," Weinstein said at a press conference. "She's been really sick and being treated by a doctor now."

He said that she will likely be back to full health by Tuesday, adding that "tomorrow night is her premiere for her movie, so she really wants to get better."

He later told Us that "she's a little better [than earlier today]."

A source -- who said she got feverish after eating fish Sunday night -- told Us that the actress didn't want to pull out of the Domino event.

"She really wants to be there," the source said earlier Monday. "The priority is to get better for tomorrow night. No one wants to lose their Cannes moment."

The source added: "She was so disappointed because she wanted to enjoy the festival. Now she's stuck in bed."

Cruz's film, Nine -- which costars Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson and Fergie -- will premiere in November.
