Ding Dong, It's Bacteria Avoiding Food Safety Litigation During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Welcome to the Primerus Webinar Series. As we navigate these new waters together without in-person meetings, we want to do all we can to ensure you still benefit from the Primerus knowledge base. If you would like to present or have a topic suggestion, please contact Kellie Zachman at kzachman@primerus.com.

Presented by: Paige Hall

With increases in ordering delivery and utilization of third-party delivery services such as Grubhub or UberEats during the COVID-19 pandemic, restaurants and food-based retail establishments may see an uptick in food contamination litigation due to issues with food handling and maintaining food quality and integrity during the delivery process. The article and presentation I have prepared is targeted toward restauranteurs and grocers, and explores the expansion into the delivery market and use of third-party delivery services, what impact the increase of delivery services may have with food safety litigation, a fun case study discussion to explore potential increased liability issues, and practical tips for avoiding food safety litigation when expanding into the delivery market.
