More details to this question:
Today I went a restaurant for brunch. I looked up the menu prior to going (I do not eat pork for religious and personal reasons) assessing whether it is a place I can find food to eat that I would enjoy. I found a few things so I Went to the establishment. And I ordered food specifically not containing pork. I ordered a Buffalo chicken wrap nothing really concerning there. But as I continued to eat my meal. I realized it tasted funny and to my surprise there was Bacon on the wrap. I looked at the menu (online as well) and it doesn’t mention bacon as an ingredient. I brought it to the waitresses attention. She offered to remake it but by that time the damage had already been done. I had ingested pork. And now I’m having stomach problems. Is this a case someone can pick up?

Such cases typically go no where unless prior to ordering the meal you made explicitly clear that you could not eat pork for religious reasons. That YOU perused a menu but said nothing does not do much for such a claim or case, as menu's constantly change. Equally, from a religious perspective, for most that have such prohibitions the mere contact with prohibited foods would also be an issue, such as with Halal or Kosher requirements. Unless you specified, you would be in the same situation potentially if the chicken was cooked in bacon grease or next to shellfish, etc. because you did not specify to see if they could accomodate. You can try to push the issue to see if they will do something for you, but if you are looking for the cost of a trip overseas for some purification or cleansing expense, or some substantial monetary value, this is not a solid case for such.
