That’s brutally harsh, but I don’t even know how you’d take the risk eating out with that level of allergy. If I’m reading right, it was literally just trace amounts of dairy?
Key paragraph:
>Eaton accepted the bags from Tate & Lyle the HG1 came in stated: “Manufactured in a factory that handles milk, eggs, cereals.” But she said: “Henry told me Tate & Lyle were making it in an allergy-free area. I took his word on that and believed it.
The product should have been labelled with an allergy warning but did not because the manufacturer took the word of a middle man above the lable the actual supplier put on the actual delivery.
Simillar issue for my gf being coeliac. Theres a huge difference between gluten free or gluten intolerant and having coeliac disease.

This should be Manslaughter. Probably perfectly legally sound reasons why it won’t be, but she made a conscious choice to not label it as potentially containing allergens based on the say so of a middle man, not the manufacturer. She should be going to jail.
Isn’t this like the third person Pret has killed with poor allergy labeling in the last 10 years?
Almost vegans will eat something that says ‘May contain milk’ or ‘Made in a factory that handles milk’. this is because we are choosing not to eat dairy, rather than being physically unable to eat it. It is obviously very different for those with allergies and that is why the labelling needs to be crystal clear for all parties.
For what it’s worth, this supplier in question also make the brand of dairy free yogurts called “Nush!”

If anyone consumes that and has a dairy allergy,
