Michelle Victor and her team have extensive experience of bringing individual and group food poisoning claims. Unfortunately, incidents of food poisoning are not rare and continue to be on the increase. As the consequences of food poisoning vary, it is important for individuals and food establishments to be vigilant when it comes to food hygiene. This would ensure that food is safe and fit for human consumption otherwise the consequences of falling standards can be fatal.

Consumers must have confidence in the food they consume through increased government funding for enforcement agencies to police food safety laws and punitive sanctions for those breaching food safety laws.
