Have you suffered an injury as result of food poisoning?

Have you experienced food poisoning or a food allergy reaction in the UK and believe that a food or drink retailer or producer is responsible? Treadstone Law, renowned solicitors for food poisoning claims, offer a No Win No Fee service for the majority of cases.

Types of Eligible Food Poisoning Claims

Food poisoning can take various forms in the UK and can have severe consequences. If you have suffered from food poisoning caused by any of these viral, bacterial, or parasitic conditions, you may have grounds for a food poisoning compensation claim:

  • Salmonella
  • Shigella
  • E.coli
  • Giardia
  • Norovirus
  • Rotavirus
  • Campylobacter
  • Cryptosporidium

Remarkably, negligence does not need to be proven for your food poisoning claim to succeed. It is sufficient to demonstrate the following:

  • The food was unsafe
  • You became ill
  • The unsafe food caused your illness

Under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, if you can identify the source of the food poisoning, infection, or allergic reaction, the law imposes a “strict liability” rule on the responsible restaurant, shop, or supplier.

    Causes of Food Poisoning

    Whether food poisoning originates from a snack or a meal consumed at a restaurant or purchased from a supermarket, the usual causes include:

    • Insufficient cooking to eliminate bacteria
    • Lack of refrigeration or covering
    • Bacterial contamination spreading between foods
    • Poor hygiene standards during preparation

    To learn more about the causes of food poisoning, visit the Food Standards Agency website. Your local Environmental Health Officer can provide helpful advice and potentially assist in gathering evidence for your compensation claim.

    We also provide guides on what steps restaurants should take to minimise the risk of food poisoning.

    Can I Claim for a Food Allergy Reaction?

    UK law requires all food and drink sold to clearly disclose the presence of known allergens, such as nuts or dairy products, through signage and packaging. If this requirement has not been met and an allergic reaction has occurred, regardless of its severity, you may be entitled to a food poisoning compensation claim.

    How to Make a Food Poisoning Claim

    Whether you have suffered from food poisoning or an allergic reaction, gathering evidence promptly is crucial. If you believe you have been a victim of someone else’s negligence, take the following steps as soon as possible:

    • Seek immediate medical assistance
    • Inform your local Environmental Health Department
    • Refrain from work or school for 48 hours to prevent contagion
    • Make a list of everything you consumed in the previous 24 hours
    • Preserve any suspect food, if available, in its packaging
    • Store the food (e.g., freeze it) while ensuring it is sealed in polythene
    • Retain all relevant receipts from restaurants or supermarkets
    • Collect names and contact details of witnesses

    You must maintain this evidence and obtain medical evidence from a gastroenterologist to help establish the seriousness of your illness. Once you have done so, it’s time to discuss your food poisoning compensation claim with us.

    “I was inundated by phone calls from dodgy companies telling me to put a claim in, but a colleague recommended Treadstone Law. I gave them a call and was astonished that, nine months later, I got a cheque for £4,700. Brilliant result!”

    Mr S / Wythenshawe

    “My son was injured at a holiday club. Treadstone Law came out to see me the same day I contacted them, and the solicitor who showed a real interest in the case. He explained it all well and was really nice to my son who was a bit frightened as he thought he was in trouble . We went to the scene of the accident and he did a full report taking loads of photos . This was really important as the play scheme moved all the incriminating evidence the next day.”

    Miss C / Cheshire

    “I had a simple road traffic accident and I was astonished when my solicitor called me and said she has settled my case for £13,000. I was very happy with the customer service that I received from Treadstone Law. They were always happy to help me with any questions I had and made me feel so welcome when I visited their offices. I will recommend my friends and family to use them if they require legal services.”

    Mrs O / Manchester

    “I was treated as a real human being by Treadstone Law. I was asked how I was, and the Solicitor did more than I had come in for, as I asked his advice about several other things. He answered all my questions and advised me what I should do, or what he would do if it were him. He made up for a lack of sensitivity shown by another solicitor’s firm, who treated me like a cash cow, were mercenary and lacked empathy. Unfortunately, I still have to deal with these solicitors, but not for long hopefully. Thank you again, and I will recommend you. Treadstone Law have restored my faith in solicitors!”

    Mrs D / Manchester

    “I was very impressed with the service I received, from the start of my claim to completion.”

    Mr S / Bolton
