11 Food Business Insurance Policies To Consider

Spoilage Insurance

If you’ve ever been unfortunate enough to experience …

  • A prolonged power outage 
  • Equipment breakdown or failure; and
  • Faulty refrigeration systems, piping, mechanical, or electrical machines

 

Food Contamination Insurance

Your recurring nightmare has finally happened. The CDC just called to let you know your customers are getting sick — and E. coli is the suspected culprit. 

If you are ever shut down due to food contamination issues, food contamination insurance can be a lifesaver. 

 

 

 

Business Interruption Insurance
