Virginia Law & Food Poisoning
A manufacturer or distributor of food makes a "warranty" that it will be fit for consumption. If you believe that the product was unfit for human consumption at the time of delivery, then the manufacturer or distributor has failed to comply with its warranty. Additionally, if you believe that this failure was the cause of your illness or injury, then the law is in your favor.

A restaurant owner, when selling food to its customers, also makes a "warranty." This warranty means that the restaurant owner has declared that the food products being served are fit for consumption. If you believe that the restaurant sold or served you an unwrapped food product that was not fit for consumption, the restaurant has violated its warranty. If you believe that this warranty has been violated, causing your illness or injury, then the law is in your favor.

Food Poisoning
According to the Mayo Clinic, food poisoning is a "gastrointestinal disorder that results from eating contaminated food." These contaminated foods contain infectious organisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Most people already have some of these organisms in their body, but a strong immune system usually keeps them from causing infections.

Symptoms

nausea
vomiting
diarrhea
abdominal pain
stomach cramps
loss of appetite
fatigue
fever

Annually, in the United States, according to the Center for Disease Control, foodborne diseases cause approximately:

76 million illnesses
325,000 people to be hospitalized
5,000 deaths

There are three main pathogens that are responsible for 1,500 deaths annually include:

Salmonella is a bacterium that can be found in the intestines of birds, reptiles, and other mammals, and is spread to humans through different foods associated with these animals.
Listeria is a bacterium that causes a serious infection caused by eating contaminated food.
Toxoplasma Gondii is one of the most common parasites in the world, and approximately 60 million people in the United States have toxoplasmosis.
