A woman has tragically died after eating a small amount of a "vegan" tiramisu, but the dessert had traces of milk to which the 21-year-old was deathly allergic. Anna Bellisario went to a restaurant in Italy with her boyfriend at the end of January, an establishment she frequented often as their specialized vegan dishes meant she could eat without worrying about her severe allergy to eggs and milk. The fashion design student ordered the vegan tiramisu for her dessert, and her boyfriend explained that the servers showed her a menu with a list of allergens and only nuts were listed, according to <a href="https://www.ilmessaggero.it/salute/focus/anna_bellisario_come_e_morta_veramente_tiramisu_uova_e_latticini-7220619.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Italian news reports</a> transcribed by the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11736707/Woman-extreme-dairy-allergy-dies-taking-two-bites-dessert-traces-milk-it.html?ito=social-facebook&fbclid=IwAR0tbaEv7ZDT97XHPJX8L-bjHqCMXZwv1AoKMZDrnMN52b0jCM45YP6_SQc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a>. The 21-year-old managed to eat two spoonfuls before she realized something was wrong, as she started coughing and rashes began appearing.

She took her allergy medication and then lost consciousness so was rushed to the hospital where she remained in a coma for 10 days, before sadly being declared dead. Anna passed away due to an anaphylactic shock caused by the dessert, and an investigation was launched into how this supposedly vegan tiramisu contained milk. According to the Italian ministry of health, via the Daily Mail, the tiramisu was a ready-made product before it reached the restaurant, and it was immediately recalled from 63 establishments across the nation. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263195025" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/CXHB82-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1701" />[[imagecaption|| The tiramisu was advertised as vegan but contained traces of milk.

After inspecting other glasses of tiramisu from the same brand, milk protein was discovered. On top of that, traces of egg was found in the mayonnaise used in the vegan sandwich that Anna had for her main course. Prosecutors have opened a probe into manslaughter charges for both the restaurant owner and the company that provided the dessert. This tragic news comes after the former boss of Pret A Manger - a sandwich shop franchise in the UK - reportedly broke down in tears after being forgiven by the father of a teenage girl who died after eating a baguette from the chain. As per the <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/pret-death-nadim-ednan-laperouse-b2280358.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Independent</a>, Natasha Ednan-Laperouse died aged 15 in 2016 after purchasing a baguette from a Pret at Heathrow Airport. Natasha was allergic to sesame, which the restaurant failed to label on its packaging. The 15-year-old collapsed on her flight to France and passed away shortly after arriving. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263195028" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/02/Screenshot-2023-02-14-at-15.43.25.png" alt="" width="873" height="587" />[[imagecaption|| Pret has since updated the allergens on its packaging.
