    Are you serious?

    I am.

    Is it against the law to send a letter before action when you believe, rightly or wrongly, that a company has caused you to suffer a loss?

    You mean a "Letter Before No Action" - Otherwise known as a complaint.

    Technically the food isn't spoiled yet, it just needs to all be eaten rather sharply. Fill your boots!

    Well practically speaking yes, but OP is well within their rights to start MCOL action (which I wouldn't 100% rule out, but more around the 80-90% region) so technically it is still a "letter before action".
