If someone is allergic to peanuts or
some other ingredient, they take their
own life in their hands when they eat
food that doesn’t have the ingredients
listed. Those people usually carry
EpiPens as a safeguard.
If one passes away (which happens,
though not as often nowadays) there
needs to be proof the person was
intentionally given something the issuer
knew would do harm.
It’s really hard to prove, and genuine
mistakes happen (parent giving a child
a snack with wheat or peanut in it, that
kind of thing).
You would not be liable unless there was proof of intent
