What are the most common claims?
Generally speaking, the most common claims for catering businesses result from Product Liability. These claims typically arise from food poisoning, or foreign objects in the food. The more severe claims generally result from food poisoning. The key to manage these risks are; careful stock management and checking the condition and regular maintenance of refrigeration units and cools rooms.

Secondly, Business Interruption claims once again, will vary in size and scope depending on the size of the company.
