Why this class matters to Coterie

Meat Markets ranks #44 on Coterie’s Top 100 classes list (December 2025), so this is a business type Coterie actively writes.

Typical risks

For meat markets, common claims include knife-area injuries involving customers, slick floors and foodborne illness complaints. Guests, delivery drivers and vendors are in and out all day, and food safety complaints can turn into claims.

GL and BOP, explained

General liability covers third-party bodily injury, property damage and, for most classes, personal and advertising injury. Per-occurrence limits are $300K, $500K, $1M or $2M, with aggregates at twice that, and the policy includes medical payments and damage to rented premises.

A BOP covers kitchen equipment and stock, and the restaurant endorsement (spoilage and food contamination) was extended to more food-service classes in August 2025. A business owner’s policy combines liability, property and business income in one policy.

Spoilage and contamination coverage depends on the class endorsement, so we confirm it in the quote.
