Des Moines Contaminated Food Lawyers
There was once a time when families grew their own crops, raised their own livestock, and had the means to be largely self-sufficient when it came to procuring food. That model has long since been abandoned, leaving people at the mercy of farmers, food manufacturers, and regulatory agencies.
Consumers must purchase their food from the grocery store or other marketplace, and they do so with the expectation that the products and produce that they will eat or drink are safe for their consumption. But as massive meat recalls can attest, this faith is sometimes unfounded and contaminated food poses a serious health risk.

Your health is our primary concern. Contact us at 877-327-2600 to learn more about your legal rights.
Common Food Dangers
Being removed from the growing, gathering, and production of foods can make an individual uncertain as to how the process of getting items to the grocery store works. Depending upon the product, there may be several steps of removal and each step creates another opportunity for contamination to be introduced. This contamination may be bacterial, viral, or chemical and the effects can range from modest digestive complications to death. Common food dangers include:
- Escherichia coli
- Salmonellosis
- Botulism
- Hepatitis A
- Norovirus infections
- Mercury poisoning
- Melamine poisoning
