Who Is Liable for Food Poisoning?
As cases of foodborne illnesses fall under product liability law, they can be subject to strict liability. This means that a plaintiff must prove that they were served or given defective food either at a restaurant or at a grocery store. Under strict liability theory, the plaintiff would not need to prove that the defendant failed to uphold the standard of reasonable care—they must simply prove that the product was unreasonably dangerous.
