Food-borne Illness and Toxic Food
Food-borne illnesses are caused when individuals consume tainted foods or beverages. Despite the laws that regulate the food industry, government entities have confirmed that tainted products are still common in our grocery stores.
If you or a loved one has been affected by a contaminated food or beverage product, it is important to hold the careless party responsible for their negligence. Contact the Waco toxic product attorneys at the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C. today at 877-948-4842.
Common Sources of Food-Borne Illness
Bacteria, viruses, or parasites in food typically cause food-borne illnesses. Common products that have been found to contain these agents include:
- Eggs
- Raw fish
- Chicken
- Beef
- Pork
- Canned foods
- Produce
The responsibility for these tainted foods may be placed on the distributor, the seller, or the way food is handled and prepared at a restaurant. Regardless of the responsible party, compensation may be available for those who have experienced pain or suffering due to food-borne illness.
Symptoms
If you have experienced any of the following symptoms after eating a tainted food product, it is important to visit a doctor and receive a thorough examination. A doctor can diagnosis a food-borne illness and may also be able to determine the cause of your illness. This can provide the evidence you need in the event that you decide to file a claim. If you have experienced the following symptoms, it is important to contact your physician:
- Diarrhea
- Stomach Aches
- Vomiting
- Dizziness
These illnesses can range from mild to deadly. There should be no reason for food-borne illness to still occur in our heavily regulated food industry. However, companies can be careless in their inspection and people in the food-industry can behave carelessly while on the job.
