Jury Verdict in Foster Farms Salmonella Case Awards Plaintiff, Recognizes Fault on Family
A jury verdict of $6.5 million in favor of a young boy who suffered brain injury due to Salmonella infection that was a part of the 2014 Foster Farms Salmonella outbreak.
Of this total of $6.5 million, only a 30% portion was assigned to Foster Farms. "The jury attributed 30 percent of the fault to Foster Farms and 70 percent to family members for their preparation of the chicken. The net verdict for the family was $1.95 million".
While Salmonella can be naturally present on poultry, the case against Foster Farms was that they did not do a good enough job in controlling Salmonella. In the outbreak, the issue was high levels of Salmonella in the chicken parts processing area.
