Welcome to the NB&A Food Blog!
We’re glad that you found us. Pull up a chair and take a seat at the table. Let’s have an interesting, innovative and informative discussion about food – from farm to fork and everything in between – including food culture, food safety, and food litigation. We’ll look at the food industry and the dark side that’s been responsible for countless recalls, outbreaks and contamination. We’ll drill down on food borne illness…consider what it is, what we can do to avoid it, and what we should do if we get sick from it. We’ll also debate what can be done to improve the system. Let’s begin this discussion with a general background on why our food system is so susceptible to foodborne illness outbreaks.

NB&A is nationally recognized law firm founded by Richard Arsenault. Richard is an accomplished trial attorney who has represented hundreds of victims of food borne illness in our nation’s court system.

Coli, salmonella, listeria, campylobacter, botulism, and other pathogens.

Why a Food Blog?
Over the years, we traveled the country and around the world with an appetite to sample other communities’ and cultures’ take on food, but we always come home to Louisiana. We love food and love what this country has done with it. We think that America is a lot like a big pot of gumbo, a fusion of cultures, ethnicities and nationalities, each retaining its individual flavor while combining to create something even better.
In our country, food does more than nourish our bodies and minds, it nourishes our families and nurtures friendships. But we also know what happens when food goes haywire. Large corporations and industry put our health and well being on the line when they produce food products contaminated with dangerous food borne pathogens. That’s where Neblett, Beard & Arsenault steps in to hold wrongdoers accountable and encourage more responsible conduct. So, sit back, relax and don’t be afraid to come back for seconds. We update our blog often with breaking news. We encourage you to join the dialogue by contacting us or leaving a comment. Thanks for visiting!
