Butcher Shop Insurance in Ontario

Prime cuts, prime coverage.

A butcher shop runs on refrigeration and sharp steel: spoilage from a failed compressor, contamination claims, and cutting-room injuries frame the risk. Inventory value per square foot runs higher than most food retail.

We cover butcher shops and meat markets with spoilage and breakdown coverage sized to your walk-ins.

What the package includes

Commercial general liability (CGL) for third-party injury and property damage
Product liability for goods you make, sell, or distribute
Spoilage coverage for refrigerated stock
Equipment breakdown for essential machinery and systems
Contents and stock coverage for inventory, furnishings, and supplies
Commercial crime coverage for theft and employee dishonesty
