LETS hope this law goes global

Oh, wow, yes. That's a good idea. Especially as environmental changes (all negative) are making allergies more and more common.

That's the worst: when you don't see any bad ingredients, but something's hiding in there. It can kill you, or at least make you really sick.

as I don't do facebook and others like, I hope it's in all of them

I have total respect for her parents in getting that to be law here

I agree. Sometimes those 'Somebody's Law' things aren't a good idea. But this one definitely is. You can't expect servers to have medical degrees, so you need these things documented.

Because if restaurants and shops don't have to do it, they won't. And when you ask, they don't care. Or some silly waitress will say, 'That's okay, I have an epipen.' And smile at you.

Celiac, of course, doesn't cause anaphylactic shock, so epipens are useless.

Or they say, 'Okay, you don't want bread. Would you like crackers?' (Same stuff.)

on the plane, her father administered 2 X "injection doses" of the anti ? needed and they didn't save her

ah! Your last post = epipen (that's it)

also, I was thinking about your reactions to some food ingredients when I saw this on our news prog's

It might have been worse because it was on a plane. Poor family.

I've got to go. There's a totally gluten-free submarine sandwich with my name on it.

Willem sent this, you'll like it.

Take care!

"submarine sandwich" ? a filling ? or eat it while in the bath

That could be a tough rugby match

No. A submarine sandwich is a long bun with sandwich fillings - in this case, roast beef, cheese, and mushrooms.
