Regards liability for injury caused by consumption of food

SB 321 changes how liability is assigned in lawsuits involving food that causes injury or death due to harmful substances. Instead of automatically holding food sellers responsible, the bill requires a jury to decide if the injured person reasonably expected the food to be safe when they ate it. This "reasonable expectation" test applies to both retail food establishments and suppliers who place food into the market. The law specifically defines "food" and "supplier" using existing definitions from the Revised Code to determine who is covered by this new standard.
