Implied Warranty: Sale of Food
An "implied warranty" is a warranty which arises by operation of law from the acts of
the parties or circumstances of the transaction. It requires no intent or particular language or
action by the seller to create it.
When food is purchased there is an implied warranty that it is fit for human
consumption. The test of fitness for human consumption is what is reasonably to be expected
by the consumer in the form in which the food is sold.
