News
BBC News [bbc.co.uk] reports [bbc.com] that a restaurant operator in the North Yorkshire [wikipedia.org] county of England has been tried, found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to six years' imprisonment for the death of a customer who died after ordering chicken tikka masala [wikipedia.org] with "no nuts" because he was allergic to peanuts. He died from what is believed to have been anaphylactic shock. [wikipedia.org] Prior to the man's death, the restaurants had already been under investigation because another customer had a non-fatal allergic reaction after she was allegedly served peanuts contrary to her request.
