⚠️ The Hidden Allergen Problem: Evidence Disappears Fast
Here’s the thing about mollusc allergy claims. You can’t photograph oyster sauce in a curry. The allergen was invisible — and the evidence is disappearing just as fast:
| 🍳 Kitchen records Ingredient lists and supplier invoices — often destroyed after 30 days |
👨🍳 Staff statements Servers and chefs forget details within weeks — or leave their jobs |
| 📋 Allergen procedures Mysteriously “updated” after incidents to cover tracks |
🧾 Till receipts & orders System records purged after 7-14 days at many restaurants |
Earlier contact = stronger claim = better compensation. Call 0800 652 0586 now — we’re securing evidence within 48 hours, not waiting for next week’s callback.

Your Questions Answered
How much does Carter & Carter charge?
We operate on a No Win No Fee basis. If your claim isn’t successful, you pay us nothing.
If your claim succeeds, our fee depends on the work and risk involved:
Most firms charge the maximum 25% fee regardless of how much work your claim required or how risky it was. We believe that’s unfair. When your claim settles efficiently without court proceedings – meaning less work and less risk for us – we charge less, to be clear, just 10% of your compensation. We pass real savings to you.
About After The Event (ATE) insurance: Since the 2013 rule changes stopped ATE premiums being recoverable from defendants, we’ve steered clear of recommending it for straightforward personal injury claims. Why? Because it’s an unnecessary expense that comes straight out of your compensation. There’s a place for ATE in certain special circumstances, but for most allergy claims, you simply don’t need it. We explain the true position honestly and only advise ATE when genuinely necessary.
Before you instruct us, we’ll explain exactly what you’ll pay in different scenarios. No surprises. No hidden costs. No maximum fees when minimum risk exists.
What if the restaurant disputes my mollusc allergy claim?
Here’s the thing — they almost always do initially. “The server didn’t hear you.” “Oyster sauce wasn’t in that dish.” “Our kitchen procedures are excellent.”
That’s why we secure evidence within 48 hours: kitchen records, supplier invoices, staff rotas, till receipts. Documentary proof beats their word against yours. 247+ five-star reviews prove we know how to handle disputed claims. Call 0800 652 0586.
I don’t have any evidence — can I still claim?
You’d be surprised what counts as evidence. Your medical records. The restaurant booking. Your bank statement showing the transaction. Texts to family saying you felt unwell.
We find evidence others miss. Kitchen records and supplier documentation prove what ingredients were actually used — even when you can’t see oyster sauce in a curry. Free assessment reveals what we can work with. Call 0800 652 0586.
My reaction wasn’t that severe — is it worth claiming?
Any allergic reaction causing distress, discomfort, or time off work deserves proper compensation. You declared your allergy. They failed their legal duty. The severity affects the amount, not your right to claim.
Mild reactions: £1,500-£2,500 typical. Moderate requiring treatment: £2,500-£3,500. Anaphylaxis requiring hospitalisation: £5,000+. Check your specific value free today.
Staff promised to leave out the oyster sauce but didn’t — what now?
A verbal promise broken is still negligence. You told them. They confirmed they’d accommodate. They didn’t. That sequence creates liability.
We’ve handled hundreds of “they said they’d leave it out” claims. Staff statements and kitchen records usually reveal what actually happened. Don’t wait — evidence disappears fast. Call 0800 652 0586.
Do you handle mollusc allergy claims outside your local area?
We cover all of England and Wales. Most claims are handled by phone, email, and video call — no need to travel. Your solicitor’s direct mobile means you’re never stuck waiting for callbacks.

Senior Solicitor | Qualified 2005
David has specialised in allergy claims since 2005, with particular expertise in hidden allergen cases where the trigger isn’t visible on the plate. He knows exactly how to prove mollusc allergy claims when oyster sauce, squid ink, or mollusc-based stocks are the culprit — securing kitchen records, supplier documentation, and staff statements within 48 hours before evidence disappears.
Every mollusc allergy claim David handles benefits from nearly 20 years of experience proving these exact cases — including dozens where restaurants initially disputed being told about the allergy.
