Nobody wants to hear customers complain — but in the restaurant industry, ignoring the wrong kind of complaint can be dangerous. When a customer reports feeling sick after a meal, or raises a concern about how food was handled, prepared, or stored, that complaint can be an early warning sign of a much larger problem. This is where a food safety expert witness plays a critical role in litigation.
Foodborne illness cases often hinge on details most people never think about: proper cooking temperatures, cross-contamination prevention, employee hygiene protocols, and how quickly a restaurant responds once a complaint comes in. A qualified food safety expert witness can evaluate whether an establishment followed industry-standard food handling practices, or whether negligence played a role in a customer’s illness.
Howard Cannon has spent decades analyzing food safety practices across restaurants and bars nationwide, helping attorneys on both sides of a case understand exactly what proper protocol looks like — and where it broke down. Whether the issue is a single customer complaint or a broader outbreak, expert analysis can make the difference between a case that holds up and one that doesn’t.
