The courts ruling that chickens contains bones and therefore consumers should expect them is arbitrary. Chickens also contain salmonella etc, consumer expectations around boneless wings essentially rests on industry practices not inherent limitations. McNuggets and cheeseburgers aren’t going to contain 2 inch bone fragments but boneless wings may so buyer beware.

You'd have to show specifically that the restaurant failed to use the normal amount of care for the industry.
- Retric 2y agoIn cases of food poisoning it’s hard to prove, but there’s plenty of cases where people have won. Here restaurant negligence or lack thereof was considered irrelevant. Absolutely zero effort is still acceptable, that’s what makes it newsworthy.
