What Causes Food Poisoning? When Are Businesses Liable?
Food poisoning results from consuming substances that contain harmful pathogens such as:
- Norovirus
- Salmonella
- Listeria
- Hepatitis A
- E. Coli
- Campylobacter
A variety of factors can lead to the presence of these and other infectious agents in everyday meals or snacks. Often, exposure can easily be prevented through simple hygienic measures such as regular handwashing or working with sanitized and properly maintained equipment. The food products themselves could also be to blame for the spread of dangerous microorganisms; restaurants and deli employees should discard any ingredients past their "use by" date.
In general, businesses that prepare or serve food owe consumers a duty of care. Customers should feel confident that they will not suffer painful or distressing symptoms caused by contaminated food when they eat out. Unfortunately, many businesses fail to take even the most basic precautions to keep consumers safe.
Symptoms of Food Poisoning
Food poisoning symptoms can vary significantly from one patient to the next. These variations can make it difficult to detect the condition early on. Common signs of foodborne illness include:
- Nausea
- Upset stomach
- Vomiting
- Cramps
- Dry mouth
- Fever
If you experience severe symptoms such as dehydration or diarrhea lasting over three days, do not hesitate to seek medical attention. In addition to treating your condition, your physician can serve as a valuable source of evidence if you eventually pursue a food poisoning lawsuit.
