Shield Your Beverage Bottling Business from the Unexpected
Beverage Bottling Insurance is specifically designed to cover the unique operational risks faced by drink manufacturers and bottling facilities. From equipment failures to contamination issues, this specialised insurance protects your production, packaging, distribution, and everything in between—ensuring you meet quality standards and avoid costly disruptions.
What risks does your policy cover?
Whether you’re bottling soda, energy drinks, kombucha, or water, a tailored policy can help you stay ahead of common industry threats. Essential coverages include:
Contamination & Spoilage Coverage – Protects against losses from tainted ingredients or compromised finished products due to bacteria or temperature failure.
Product Recall Insurance – Covers notification, shipping, storage, and brand recovery if your bottled product must be recalled from shelves.
Equipment Breakdown Insurance – Ensures you’re covered when bottling lines, capping machines, or chillers fail unexpectedly.
Commercial Property Insurance – Covers damage to your bottling facility, storage warehouses, and production equipment.
General Liability Insurance – Offers protection if a customer or third party is harmed by your bottled products or operations.
Business Interruption Coverage – Replaces lost income and operating costs during a temporary production halt.
For full-spectrum protection, many beverage producers in California combine essential policies into a flexible plan. See how a customised insurance solution from a trusted commercial provider supports beverage bottlers like you.
What Hazards Are You Facing?
Bottling operations must meet strict health and safety regulations—and even small mistakes can result in major losses. Consider the real risks:
Bottling line machinery failure delaying shipments
Lawsuits from contaminated or improperly sealed beverages
Temperature issues causing spoilage or fermentation in transit
Employee injury during equipment cleaning or production shifts
Labeling errors that result in non-compliance or allergic reactions
Fire, water, or theft damaging stored inventory or facility
Your beverage brand’s reputation is as valuable as the product itself. With access to targeted solutions like custom manufacturer insurance, bottlers gain peace of mind knowing their operations are well protected.
For even more streamlined protection, explore a bundled plan through a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP), which combines property, liability, and business interruption into one efficient package.
