A resident Amanda Obney of California complained that Taco Bell advertised and labeled their meat used in tacos as beef when it was not authentic meat but a filling (Caulfield, 2011).

The standard of proof for success exists such that “the plaintiff must prove that the defendant knew or should have known that, without a warning, the product would be dangerous in its ordinary use…” (Kubasek, et. al., in Hartigan, ed., 2004, p. 172).

One of the most well-known fast food litigation cases in the United States is Pelman v. McDonald 's Corp. In Pelman, two minors sued the fast food restaurant McDonalds claiming, among other things, that 'McDonalds acted at least negligently in selling food products that are high in cholesterol, fat, salt and sugar when studies show that such foods cause obesity and detrimental health effects. One of the weaknesses of the plaintiffs ' claims in Pelman is common to food litigation in general. The Pelman court elegantly expressed this issue, asking "where the line should be drawn between an individual 's own responsibility to take care of herself, and society 's responsibility to ensure that others shield her?"

Food poisoning is a typical occurrence across the globe as there have been headlines of refined establishments having incidents of food poisoning. There are many causal agents of the problem including E. Coli, Botulism, Norovirus, Listeria, Shigella, and Hepatitis. If the restaurant or any other food handling entity is responsible for food poisoning, affected customers do hold the right to sue these establishments on common theories such as strict liability, implied warranty and negligence.
