[Legal nitpick: this would be a much more straightforward matter than that case if taken to court as the salad was evidently prepared on the premises by the caterer, who therefore owed an immediate duty of care to the poor soul buying it. The key point at issue in Donoghue v Stephenson was whether a manufacturer owed such a duty to a remote end-user who had no immediate contract of sale; in answering 'yes', the House of Lords revolutionised the law of negligence with far-reaching effects.]
