Travel companies, who sell package holidays to Tenerife, are responsible for exercising reasonable skill and care in the provision of the facilities and services that they sell. The kitchens at your hotel in Tenerife should be clean, and the food served should be prepared hygienically to avoid Food Poisoning.
Food that is cooked, stored, and prepared properly will not contain harmful infectious agents such as Shigella, E. Coli or Salmonella. If you have been diagnosed with food poisoning, and you travelled abroad on a regulated package holiday, your tour operator is liable to pay you compensation.
There is a reasonable variety of international food and drink served in hotels in Tenerife, with most European nations represented, including, of course, Spain. The locals also have many regional specialities, which rely on local products – fish, tomato, sweet potato etc. Tenerife is famous for its wrinkled, salty potato dish or Papas arrurgadas.
Holiday Illness Claims Lawyers can help if you suffered from holiday illness during a trip to Tenerife, particularly if you are on a package holiday with a well known Uk tour operator.
