Ohio SB38 establishes a liability standard for food-related injuries based on the injured person's reasonable expectation of food safety.

Ohio SB38 amends the state's Revised Code to establish a liability standard for injuries caused by consuming food containing a substance injurious to health. The bill introduces a "reasonable expectation test," determining the liability of food service operators or suppliers based on whether the injured person reasonably expected the food to be safe. The trier of fact, such as a jury, will decide if the injured person had this reasonable expectation. This change aims to clarify liability in cases where food safety is compromised.
