Italian authorities launch a homicide investigation after the death of a 20-year-old woman with a dairy allergywho according to a Daily Mail report, died of allergic shock after she was served a tiramisu dessert made with milk when she was allegedly assured that it was made with vegan materials

Anna Bellisario and her boyfriend reportedly dined at one fast food restaurant in Milan on January 26, 2023.

When he ordered her vegan tiramisu the girl checked the label and asked for additional information about the dessert informing the store that she is allergic.

After they reassured her, she started eating it.

With the second spoon the girl realized that something was wrong and ran to the toilet trying to vomit.

She took asthma medicine and cortisone, which she always carried with her, but shortly afterwards she lost consciousness having suffered anaphylactic shock.

He died on February 5 in hospital San Raffaele.

The two women who ran the pastry shop that supplied the restaurant confront them charges of manslaughter.

As the preliminary findings showed, the two women confused the invoices of vegan sweets with others containing milk.

It is assumed that the company did not prevent the mixing of the two production lines in the confectionery workshopwhich at the time supplied 63 restaurants with vegan tiramisu.

Prosecutors, based on wiretapped information, said that if the separation of ingredients had been done properly, the vegan sweets were produced in a separate area from the rest and the staff had received the proper training rather than a four-hour seminar, casein would not have been mixed with products of plant origin in the confectionery laboratory, which resulted in the adulteration of the product.

Italian authorities detected traces of milk protein and in other tiramisu packages of the same brand.

But beyond that traces of egg were also found in the mayonnaise contained in the vegan sandwichwhich the girl at the fast food restaurant also ate that fateful day.

The Italian Ministry of Health withdrew the Tiramisu product from the market on February 6, 2023.
