Why Hiring a Lawyer Is Essential in Food Allergy Litigation

Food allergy claims hinge on whether a business failed to disclose, prevent, or respond to a known allergen risk. An experienced food allergy lawyer will:

• Identify the source of the exposure—whether in a restaurant kitchen, packaged food item, or catered meal.
• Secure and preserve evidence like labels, menus, allergy disclosures, and witness statements.
• Work with allergists and medical experts to prove causation and the severity of the reaction.
• Build a strong legal claim based on negligence, product liability, or breach of warranty.
• Negotiate with insurance communications, and, if necessary, take the case to trial.

With legal representation, families can have peace of mind that the legal aspects are handled and their rights are protected.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Food Allergy Reaction?

Liability depends on where and how the allergen exposure occurred. In Minnesota, common defendants in food allergy lawsuits include:

Restaurants and Food Service Establishments
Liable for failing to prevent cross-contact, provide allergen warnings, or honor customer-provided allergy information.

Manufacturers and Distributors
Can be held accountable for undeclared allergens, incorrect labeling, or cross-contamination during production.

Schools, Daycares, and Summer Camps
Must follow medical instructions and allergy management plans. Failure to do so may constitute negligence.

Catering Companies and Event Hosts
Expected to disclose known allergens and ensure proper food handling practices for all guests.

Minnesota Laws That Apply in Food Allergy Cases

Under Minnesota law, businesses that fail to act with reasonable care in handling allergens may be held liable for resulting harm.

Strict Product Liability
Manufacturers are responsible for foods made unsafe by undeclared or hidden allergens, regardless of intent.

Breach of Warranty
Food sold to consumers must be safe to eat. If it is not, a claim may be brought under breach of implied warranty.

Wrongful Death
Families may pursue damages if a loved one dies from an allergic reaction caused by negligence (Minn. Stat. § 573.02).

Statute of Limitations
In most personal injury cases, victims have two years to file a claim in Minnesota (Minn. Stat. § 541.07(1)).
