An international food distributor and importer’s legal battle over 2,237 cases of frozen chicken feet has ended in defeat after the Supreme Court struck out its claim against a local shipping agent.

Worldwide Foods Limited had sued MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company Jamaica Limited, seeking damages exceeding J$9 million and US$33,000 after the frozen cargo was condemned as unfit for human consumption.

The company had also sued MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A., the Swiss-based carrier that issued the bill of lading, and the Singapore-registered vessel M/V Crystal A 018A.
