    There is a reason why it is almost impossible to sue for food poisoning. It’s almost impossible to prove, because generally the person claiming to have had the food poisoning is doing so several weeks after the event, and by the time the court case is heard it would be months after the event, so it’s very much a case of he says she says with no real evidence either way. If there has not being an outbreak the courts are not going to believe that the person either had food poisoning, or that they got the food poisoning from the establishment. Innocent until proven otherwise cuts both ways.
