The bill introduced by Senator DeMora aims to enact section 2307.56 of the Revised Code, which establishes a reasonable expectation test for determining liability in cases where individuals suffer injuries due to consuming food containing harmful substances. The bill defines key terms such as "food," "food service operation," "operator," and "supplier," aligning them with existing definitions in the Revised Code.

Under this new provision, in civil actions for damages related to food consumption injuries, the liability of food service operators and suppliers will hinge on whether the injured party had a reasonable expectation that the food was safe and free from harmful substances. The determination of this expectation will be made by the trier of fact, ensuring that the jury plays a crucial role in assessing the circumstances surrounding the consumption of the food in question.
