Injured by Foreign Object in Food & Drink Claims

If you have been injured because there was a foreign object in your food, you may be able to make a claim for compensation.

You are entitled to expect that all food bought from places like supermarkets, takeaways and independent shops is fit for consumption. But sometimes foreign objects appear and if eaten or bitten into they can cause nasty injuries.

We have helped clients who have been affected by many different types of foreign objects in food, including bugs and insects, small animals and reptiles, glass, plastic, bones and mould.

Alongside the physical injury caused by the foreign object, you might experience psychological trauma which can be particularly distressing.

Common injuries can include:

Broken or damaged teeth (see also Dental Injuries)
Cuts to the mouth, tongue and throat
Food poisoning
