What Insurance Covers Spoiled Inventory?
Equipment-breakdown coverage may pay for spoiled inventory after a covered refrigeration failure when a spoilage grant applies.
Stock value alone does not establish coverage.
Check covered equipment, the spoilage trigger, utility interruption, refrigerant contamination, deductibles, and spoilage sublimits. Confirm temperature-monitoring and notice conditions.
