It is important to remember that the coverage offered under these policies"is limited to contamination of the insured's own product," Weinstein said.

"In a lot of these more media-driven frenzies that we have had," forexample the recent spinach recalls, pet food recall and others, "the companiesthat are associated with these products lose tremendous sums of money. Butsometimes, the company's product itself is not part of the contamination. Forinstance, with the pet food situation last year, people stopped serving storebought pet food to their pets, regardless of where that pet food came from,and that was a significant issue."
