Food Poisoning Liability

Food Poisoning Liability is the legal responsibility that a hospitality business holds. It applies when a customer becomes ill after eating food. The food must have been contaminated, spoiled, or badly made. A claim can stem from bacteria, such as Salmonella or E. coli, from chemical contamination, or a foreign object in a meal. This liability is usually covered under a policy's product liability section.
