"Dancer's Fatal Allergic Reaction Linked to Mislabeling of Cookie Ingredients"

A 25-year-old dancer died from an allergic reaction after eating a mislabeled cookie from Stew Leonard's, leading to a recall of vanilla and chocolate Florentine cookies due to undeclared peanuts and eggs. The woman, identified as Órla Baxendale, moved to New York to pursue a dance career and died from anaphylactic shock. The cookies were produced by Cookies United and labeled with the Stew Leonard's brand name. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the labeling error, and consumers are advised to dispose of or return the recalled cookies.
