The life you save may be your own.
Even packaged food in Britain is crap. Best to a avoid Britainstan.
Not having to walk in her shoes leaves me uneducated but if I had a deadly allergy like that I think I would have to prepare everything myself
I was wondering if an epipen would help. The article mentions she had one and her husband told her to use it, but the article doesn’t say if she did.
“traces of dairy protein in [the wrap]” — Wow, it is astonishing how little of a substance can kill you if you have a bad allergy to it. You always hear about severe reactions to bee stings, peanuts, and shellfish, but not so often about dairy.

IIRC there was a Seinfeld episode about this.
This story sounds like what happened to friend of a friend... I didn’t know the fellow personally but he had gone to a party and asked several times if a particular dip had any salmon in it. He was told no and tried it... he died shortly thereafter.
I agree with Harmless.... “If you have a life threatening allergy, do not eat food made by other people.”
Vegan yogurt?
If it was vegan….it wasn’t yogurt. Yogurt is made from milk. It was probably more like goop.
The daughter of a friend had a peanut allergy. So all thru grade school, the mother, who was a nurse, would meet with the daughter’s teachers at the beginning of each school year and provide them with an epipen and instruct them how to use it.
