最近在美國發生了一起悲劇。
一位來自英國的25歲芭蕾舞演員奧爾拉·巴森代爾(Órla Baxendale)在參加聚會吃完餅乾後,不幸休克身亡。
死因結果出爐,是堅果過敏引發過敏性休克。
據悉,奧爾拉患有嚴重的花生過敏症,她的家屬痛訴該餅乾的包裝成分標示不清,奪走了一條年輕的生命。
01
家人崩潰痛悼
The family of Órla Baxendale is mourning the death of the 25-year-old dancer, who they say had a severe nutallergyand died ofanaphylacticshock on Jan. 11 after eating cookies that did not listpeanutsamong the ingredients on its label.
奧爾拉·巴森代爾的家人正在哀悼這位25歲的舞蹈演員的死亡,他們說,她患有嚴重的堅果過敏症,並於1月11日因食用包裝上沒有標註含有花生成分的餅乾而死於過敏性休克。
Baxendale had moved to New York from East Lancashire, England, to pursue a career in dance, according to a statement issued on behalf of the family by their attorneys, Howard S. Hershenhorn and Marijo C. Adime. Her family is "devastated by this unimaginable loss."
律師霍華德·S·赫申霍恩和馬裡喬·C·阿迪姆代表其家人發表宣告稱,巴森代爾從英格蘭東蘭開夏郡搬到紐約,追求舞蹈事業。她的家人“對這一難以想象的損失感到震驚”。
"She was a radiant and brave soul who pursued her dreams relentlessly, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who knew her," they said.
他們說:“她是一個容光煥發、勇敢無畏的人,她堅持不懈地追求自己的夢想,在每一個認識她的人心中都留下了不可磨滅的印記。”
最讓家人崩潰的是,奧爾拉因為自己的過敏體質,一直謹慎小心,平時都會攜帶一支腎上腺素筆,以應對過敏反應。在休克之前,她曾緊急自救,可惜沒有成功。
In addition, the attorney said, after she at the cookies and began to have an anaphylactic reaction, anEpi penwas used but "due to the severity of her allergy, it was not effective."
此外,律師說,在奧爾拉吃了餅乾並開始出現過敏反應後,她就使用了腎上腺素筆,但“由於過敏太嚴重,它沒有起作用”。
Epi pen:腎上腺素筆,是一種腎上腺素自動注射器,用於緊急處理食物或接觸性過敏以及嚴重哮喘,對有嚴重過敏史或致命過敏反應的患者而言是必備品。 將腎上腺素筆扎向患者大腿外側,保持一段時間後,可緩解患者過敏反應。

究竟是誰的責任
在悲劇發生後,美國食品藥品監督管理局(FDA)與Stew Leonard連鎖商店召回了這批“問題餅乾”。
Stew Leonards issued an updated recall of the Vanilla and Chocolate Florentine Cookies on Thursday, following an earlier recall this week, saying "the cookies contain undeclared peanuts and eggs" and that those with an allergy to either food "run the risk of serious orlife-threateningallergic reaction".
繼本週早些時候的召回之後,Stew Leonards 於週四釋出了最新的香草巧克力佛羅倫薩餅乾的召回宣告,稱“這些餅乾中含有未標註的花生和雞蛋成分”,對這兩種食物過敏的人“有可能出現嚴重甚至危及生命的過敏反應”。
The product had been sold in two Connecticut towns starting 6 November and they remained on shelves until the end of the year.
這款餅乾從11月6日開始在康涅狄格州的兩個城鎮銷售,一直襬放到年底。
Stew Leonards president and CEO Stew Leonard Jr alleged that the manufacturer changed the ingredients "fromsoynuts to peanuts" and the companys chief safety officer was not notified of the change.
Stew Leonards 公司總裁兼執行長Stew Leonard Jr 聲稱,製造商將配料“從大豆堅果改成了花生”,而公司的首席安全官卻沒有收到通知。
The Long Island manufacturer, Cookies United, challenged that allegation and said that it notified Stew Leonards in July 2023 of the recipe change.
長島製造商 Cookies United 對這一指控提出質疑,並表示已於 2023 年 7 月通知Stew Leonards連鎖商店更改配料表。
General counsel for the company said all products shipped to them were labelled accordingly, adding that the product "is sold under the Stew Leonards brand and repackaged at their facilities" with the incorrect label.
該公司的法律總顧問表示,運往商店的所有產品都有相應的標籤,並補充說,這些產品“以Stew Leonards的品牌銷售,並在他們的工廠重新包裝”,不正確的標籤是連鎖商店自己貼的。
Attorneys representing Ms Baxendales family said in an online statement that a "preliminary investigation has revealed that Órlas death occurred due to the gross negligence and reckless conduct of the manufacturer and/or sellers".
代表巴森代爾女士及其家人的律師在一份線上宣告中說,"初步調查顯示,奧爾拉·巴森代爾 的死亡是由於製造商和/或銷售商的嚴重疏忽和魯莽行為造成的"。
目前相關部門正在調查這起事件,但不管怎麼說,這個美麗的姑娘卻再也回不來了……真的太可惜了!
在這裡,英大也想提醒大家,馬上就要過年了,參加各大聚會,少不了會吃吃喝喝,有過敏史或過敏體質的人一定要留意入口食品的配料表,不隨意吃成分不明的零食,守護自己和家人的健康。
