"Dancer's Tragic Death Linked to Mislabelled Cookies"
TL;DR
British ballet dancer Órla Baxendale, who had a severe peanut allergy, died in the US after consuming a mislabelled cookie from a Stew Leonard’s grocery store in Connecticut. The Vanilla Florentine Cookies did not list peanuts on the packaging, leading to a fatal anaphylactic reaction despite her carrying an EpiPen. The store has recalled the cookies, and investigations are ongoing to prevent similar tragedies.
