Holiday Claims Bureau Warns of All-Inclusive Holiday Food Safety Risks

Recent reports have highlighted growing concerns around food safety at all-inclusive holiday resorts, with numerous UK holidaymakers falling ill from food poisoning and allergic reactions. At Holiday Claims Bureau, we take legal action against tour operators who fail to uphold food and hygiene standards, ensuring holidaymakers are protected and compensated when things go wrong.

Travel Experts Sound Alarm Over Buffet Risks

Travel experts Global Work and Travel have also issued a timely warning to those heading off on all-inclusive breaks. They said: “As thousands of Brits prepare to jet off on all-inclusive holidays this summer, our travel expert is warning sunseekers to be cautious of lesser-known food poisoning risks – especially E. coli – that often go unnoticed on the buffet table.”

This warning underlines the danger posed by inadequate food handling practices in resorts—an issue we at Holiday Claims Bureau deal with all too often.

Legal Insight from Solicitor Michael Walker

Michael Walker, founder of Holiday Claims Bureau and an experienced solicitor in holiday illness and accident cases, shared his concerns: “Tour operators have a duty of care to their customers. When they neglect proper food hygiene practices, it can lead to serious health consequences. Our role is to ensure that affected individuals receive the compensation they deserve and that such negligence is addressed.”

Mr Walker and the team have helped thousands of clients pursue successful food poisoning and food allergy claims, securing justice and vital financial redress.

Know Your Rights – You’re Protected by Law

If you’ve booked a package holiday, you’re covered under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018. These laws make tour operators liable for services such as accommodation and catering. If you’ve fallen ill due to poor food hygiene, you may have the right to make a successful holiday illness claim.

Common issues we see include:

• Food left on buffet tables for long periods without temperature control
• Undercooked or improperly reheated meat and poultry
• Poor kitchen hygiene leading to bacterial contamination
• Use of unclean water or ice in food and drinks
• Cross-contamination between raw and cooked foods
• Inadequate refrigeration of perishable items
