Food Poisoning Allegations
What Are Food Poisoning Allegations?
Every year, around one million people in the UK suffer from a food-borne illness. While food-borne illnesses can originate from almost anywhere, most people will assume the perpetrator, often assuming it is the last meal they ate. This can be a significant problem if a customer believes their food poisoning originated from your business. Food poisoning allegations can threaten businesses and livelihoods. If you receive a food poisoning allegation, you need to act fast.
Why You Need To Act On Food Poisoning Allegations
A good reputation can take years to establish but can be instantly destroyed by an allegation. While you may refuse to believe the problem came from your kitchen, your customers are unwell and you need to take the matter seriously.
While it may be incredibly stressful, how you handle a food poisoning allegation can show your customers how much you care and are committed to excellent service and hygiene. In fact, how you handle an allegation can not only restore a reputation but also improve it.
