A tragic incident unfolded recently that has sent shockwaves through hearts of many people on social media. An otherwise healthy woman, Órla Baxendale, tragically lost her life due to a severe allergic reaction. The culprit? A mislabeled cookie from Stew Leonard’s grocery store.
How Did Orla Baxendale Die?
Órla Baxendale, a 25-year-old professional dancer, had a fatal encounter with a cookie containing peanuts. The cookie, sold by the supermarket chain Stew Leonard’s, was not properly labeled as containing peanuts. This unfortunate oversight led to Orla’s untimely death due to anaphylactic shock, a severe allergic reaction.
What Type of Stew Leonard’s Cookies Did Orla Baxendale Eat Before Her Death?
The cookie involved in this tragic incident was a Florentine cookie, sold under the Stew Leonard’s brand name. It was a seasonal product sold at Stew Leonard’s grocery stores in Danbury and Newington, Connecticut. The cookie, manufactured by Cookies United, contained peanuts that were not listed as part of the ingredients.
The Aftermath: What Caused Stew Leonard’s Cookie Mislabeling Issues?
Following the incident, Stew Leonard’s issued a recall for its vanilla Florentine cookies. The recall was later updated to include both the vanilla and chocolate Florentine cookies, as they contained undeclared peanuts and eggs. The company stated that people with an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts or eggs run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The cause of the labeling errors remains under investigation. The recall notice also stated, “One death has been reported that may be associated with the mislabeled product.”
Orla Baxendale’s death is a tragic reminder of the dangers of mislabeled food items. It underscores the importance of accurate labeling, especially when it comes to allergens. She was a radiant and brave soul who pursued her dreams relentlessly, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all her social media fans.
Most people don’t even notice the “might contain peanuts” wording on food products, but for someone who is allergic to peanuts those tiny words are the difference between life and death. That’s the type of mistake a food company isn’t supposed to make, for that to happen a lot likely had to go wrong internally within the production chain.
