If it is used for baking or even animal feed, there are contamination concerns. I’m very surprised the shipper doesn’t care. IF it was contaminated, sold and used there could be liability issues should someone get sick. Lot numbers would be traced back to shipper as all this info is captured during the manufacturing process. So either it isn’t used as an ingredient, or the insurance company is talking out their ass on their own. They represent the truck, not the shipper. I’m in the business and do food and beverage. In the case of an accident or even a broken seal on a trailer it’s big doings from a product integrity standpoint. In case of an accident, product is normally inspected by a QC representative from shipper and if ok, they will take and put back into inventory which reduces the amount of the claim or order freight destroyed at an approved facility so they know it’s not making its way to consumers where they can potentially be sued.
Selling damaged food products is a no no. Let’s say a load of beverages in glass bottles was in an accident. Shipper is paid by cargo insurance but trucking company sells product and it makes its way to someone to consumers. There are glass fragments in the bottle. A consumer drinks and gets glass fragments in their throat. Shipper gets sued big time. There are normal strict policies in place regarding refused products.
