What can you really do in that case? If she was seriously allergic, no food for you.

The food was thought safe. The restaurant failed to follow the teacher's instructions and therefore the case is a valid one.

That is just...depressing.

At the same time, it sounds like it was a regrettable accident. The restaurant may have attempted to make the food allergen-free, but overlooked something.

If the child's allergy was severe enough to be life-threatening, she should have kept an EpiPen in her backpack or on her person AT ALL TIMES.

I know the family is mourning, but the truth is there's plenty of blame to go around.
