SOURCES OF FOOD POISONING AND FOODBORNE ILLNESSES
Due to the number of people that can handle food during its transition from the producer to the consumer, it can be very difficult to determine where foodborne illnesses originate.
In fact, it often takes the knowledge of experienced investigators to trace the origins of a particular outbreak back to its original source.
If you have been a victim of a food poisoning, there are a number of sources that can be investigated and potentially held accountable for your illness. Our food poisoning lawyers team and industry experts can help to explore these areas and use the information that we uncover to build a case for your compensation.
Some of these can include:
- Farmers
- Ranchers
- Slaughterhouses
- Food processing plants
- Packaging facilities
- Distributors
If improperly stored food is sold by retailers, such as grocery stores or restaurants, those establishments may also be responsible for foodborne illness.
FOODS THAT ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CARRYING BACTERIA
With the advent of large scale farming, the chances of food products becoming contaminated has increased greatly.
This has been compounded by the various chemicals and other dangerous ingredients that are often used in the fertilizers and pesticides that are used on many crops throughout the country.
While poultry and beef are the most common sources of food poisoning cases, there are a number of other products that can carry the bacteria that can poison those that consume them.
Some of these include (but are not limited to):
- Tuna
- Eggs
- Leafy greens
- Cheese
- Peanut butter
- Oysters
- Potatoes
- Ice cream
- Berries
- Sprouts
In light of the above, it is important to look closely at all of the food that you purchase and where you purchase it from, to try and minimise your chances of getting sick from eating your food.
