# 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.
