Tragic news about the death of a 25-year-old British dancer, after she suffered anaphylactic shock after eating biscuits with nuts.
Dancer Orla Baxendale ate a snack from grocery store chain Stew Leonard's in the northeastern United States and caused a severe allergic reaction. The medicine she always carried with her in case of emergency wasn't enough.
Her family told the BBC that Baxendale ate the cookies while in Connecticut while preparing to play the lead role in a dance troupe adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.
The 25-year-old has always been careful about what she consumes
Her family said she was “very careful” about her peanut allergy and “never left the house without an EpiPen.”
However, there was no indication on the packaging that the biscuits contained peanuts, and the 25-year-old ate them without any concern.
The grocer, in cooperation with the US Food and Drug Administration, has since recalled a batch of Florentine vanilla cookies. About 500 packages of the cookies had been sold, Stew Leonard's said in a video it posted about Ms. Baxendale's death. Customers were asked to return the cookies to their stores.
Stew Leonard's issued an updated recall of its vanilla and chocolate Florentine cookies on Thursday, following an earlier recall this week, saying that “the cookies contain undeclared peanuts and eggs” and that people with allergies to either food are “at risk of serious or life-threatening risk.” .
