Yes, food manufacturers can be held liable after an injury stemming from a foreign object in the company's product. However,these cases hinge on the type of object that the consumer discovered in their meal. Victims may face difficulties if they suffer injuries from an object they could reasonably expect to find in their food or drink. For instance, victims may have difficulty successfully recovering if their injuries stem from chipping a tooth on a plum pit or consuming an insect from their lettuce package. The court would likely reason that the plaintiff could reasonably expect to encounter these items while consuming the affected food in these cases. In contrast, a consumer would not reasonably expect to find a piece of metal in their fruit juice.
