Unfortunately, if food is contaminated with a pesticide or other harmful product, it can hurt our health.

Causes of Food Contamination
Millions of people are affected by food contamination yearly in the United States. Most victims experience common symptoms like dehydration or an upset stomach, but other cases are more severe. Food contamination can result from the following:
- Using rotten or unclean produce
- Unsanitary slaughtering or meat processing techniques
- Using illegal or otherwise harmful pesticides
- Negligent food storage techniques
Consuming contaminated food can jeopardize a person’s health, and victims of food poisoning should make food companies pay for this irresponsible behavior. It may be possible to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.
