My youngest has been the ER three times due to ingesting peanuts, including once when the local Costco was sampling granola bars that contained peanuts. There was no posted allergy warning.
A couple of minutes after the staff realized what had happened, a Costco employee hastily scribbled a peanut warning sign with a Sharpie and taped it to the sample station.
Another time we had to administer an Epipen at a Mexican restaurant after she ate a cheese enchilada. Turns out their red sauce contained peanut butter.

- MisterTea 2y ago> sampling granola bars that contained peanuts. This is going to sound accusatory but it's quite obvious a granola bar can contain nuts. I can understand the Mexican restaurant scenario but one trip to the ER should have you questioning EVERY food source that is not within your control. You cant expect food safety if you don't verify yourself.
- sys32768 2y agoWe did learn to question everything eventually, and today she's vigilant about reading all ingredients. Just recently I gave her a chocolate wafer from Italy that had peanuts in it, which I would have never assumed based on the taste. Thankfully she read the ingredients. Ouch!
