A Rockland County man with a severe milk allergy is suing a New York City >McDonald's-- claiming he almost died after eating a Big Mac that contained an >errant slice of cheese.
Charles Olsen suffered an anaphylaxis reaction soon after he took a bite out >of the famed McDonald's burger in February 2021, according to a lawsuit filed >Friday in state Supreme Court.
Olsen, 28, ordered the Big Mac over food delivery app DoorDash, but requested >"NO American cheese" be placed between the buns and patties, according to a >screenshot of the order attached to the lawsuit. But when the burger from the >McDonald's located at 335 8th Avenue arrived, he took a few bites and >"immediately felt like something wasn't right," the lawsuit states.
"His throat began to itch and swell," the suit claims. "He felt a burning >sensation throughout his body. He looked at his girlfriend, Alexandra, and >coughed 'there’s milk in this!'"
With his body covered in hives and laboring to breathe, his horrified >girlfriend rushed him to the hospital where Olsen was admitted for >anaphylaxis. He almost needed intubation to survive, according to the >lawsuit.

The soy is a bit of a surprise but the rest is normal.
Under 50%
cheese, which is why it is called processed cheese, sodium citrate and
citric acid to make it easier to emulsify and combine the cheese and
water. Then the Beta-carotene to help give the yellow color.
Presumably salt and paprika to help with the taste.
Leaving only the
soy lecithin as an ingredient that I'm not sure why they added it.
Maybe it helps with the texture of the final product?

My neighbor has done that. I've seen a few times where she had
breakfast delivered from Mickey D's. Yes, she spent the money to get breakfast for just herself from McDonald's. I don't understand it but
she's young and apparently foolish with her money.

lol. What did he think they put in the cheese pancake normally if not
cheese?
Agreed. It's a well known fact that fast food places can and do get
the orders wrong. It doesn't happen often but over the years I've had
it happen a couple of times where I placed an order and got the wrong
order. Also if the person is highly allergic to cheese I would think
there would be enough cross contamination to put his health at risk in
a place like McDonalds when ordering any food cooked on the grill.

Surely the first question the attorney for the restaurant asked was
"what exactly did you EXPECT the chief ingredients in a cheese pancake
to be?" with the second question being "why the hell did you think we
were trying to 'assassinate' you as opposed to feeding you?"
Which is why I'm astonished the suit got beyond pre-trial motions (or
what in Canadian jurisprudence is called "examinations for discovery")
