Woman Swaps Out Her Roommate’s Food With Vegan, Ends Up Charged With A Felony

If you’ve ever had a food allergy, you know how serious it may be. It occurs when the body’s immune system reacts to certain proteins in food, and the reactions may vary from hives and lip swelling to even life-threatening symptoms that may involve fatal respiratory problems and shock known as anaphylaxis.

But this story posted on r/AITA which started with one roommate’s allergy to soy products has many more layers to it. “The next day after she moved in, she cooked breakfast for us. I was surprised,” the author recounted the morning with her new vegan roommate named Erin. But it turned out that unbeknownst to Erin, the author was “deathly allergic to a few things,” and soy products were one of them.

“I start eating and everything tastes a little off. At this point, she does a “‘Ta da’ and smugly told us ‘I bet it tastes exactly like meat,’” the author said. As you can imagine, this didn’t go well. Not only did the author have to stay in a hospital for 2 days due to her allergic reaction, but she also filed a complaint to the police.

But this was far from the end of the story, so read on below to find out how it escalated. Let me just tell you it involves a degree of felony.

This woman has recently shared a story of how she pressed charges against her roommate who swapped her food with a vegan alternative without being aware she’s “deathly allergic” to soy

Food tampering laws and related consequences do vary from state to state. For instance, California law (Penal Code Section 347) states that anyone who knowingly adds poison or a harmful substance to any food, drink, medicine, or pharmaceutical product where another person could be harmed is guilty of a felony punishable by a prison sentence of two to five years. If the substance could cause death or great bodily injury to a person, an additional three years is added to the sentence.

According to the United States Department of Justice, Subsection (a) of 18 U.S.C. § 1365 “prohibits tampering or attempted tampering with any consumer product that affects interstate or foreign commerce, or with the labeling of, or the container for, such a product. The tampering must be done with reckless disregard for the risk that another person will be placed in danger of death or bodily injury. Furthermore, the tampering must be done under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the risk of death or bodily injury.”

However, we do not know whether this particular case involved food tampering and though the author of the post mentioned that “food tampering is a felony,” she didn’t explain how that related to the incident.
For anyone with a severe food allergy, consuming food with an allergen in it, even the smallest amounts of it, can be extremely dangerous. This may happen though the manufacturing process or during the food preparation process.

When it comes to the author’s allergy, an allergy to soy, it is a common food allergy to soybean products. Often, soy allergy starts in infancy with reaction to soy-based infant formula. Although most children outgrow soy allergy, some carry the allergy into adulthood. Mild signs and symptoms of soy allergy include hives or itching in and around the mouth.

Even though a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) is rare with soy allergy, according to Mayo Clinic, it’s more likely to occur in people who also have asthma or who are allergic to other foods besides soy, such as peanuts. Anaphylaxis causes more extreme signs and symptoms, including: difficulty breathing, caused by throat swelling; shock, with a severe drop in blood pressure; rapid pulse; dizziness, lightheadedness or loss of consciousness.

The author clarified a couple of details to the commenters

Woman Swaps Out Her Roommate’s Food With Vegan, Ends Up Charged With A Felony

Certain factors may put you at greater risk of developing a soy allergy, like family history. You’re at increased risk of allergy to soy or other foods if other allergies, such as hay fever, asthma, hives or eczema, are common in your family. Another common factor is age since soy allergy is most common in children, especially toddlers and infants. Other allergies may also put the person at risk of having soy allergy.

According to the Mayo Clinic, in some cases, people who are allergic to wheat, beans (legumes), milk or other foods can also have an allergic reaction to soy. Also, people who are allergic to soy may have test results showing allergy to other legumes, but may be able to eat them with no problem.

Some commenters thought that the author did the right thing

I dont think she sux at all. I did that same exact thing 2 my step dad recently. All I was trying to do was get an older person who I knew would NEVER try a meat substitute unless they didnt know about it, 2 try it cuz we have about 2 yrs left 2 save this damn planet and raising animals 4 meat is the top contributer 2 climate change. I used 2 b a HUGE meat eater and now I only eat it a few times a month and try 2 stick 2 vegan when I can. Also if youve ever seen a factory farming undercover vid youde never want 2 eat meat again. I was TRYING 2 do the right thing and stop as much suffering as I could & doin wat little I could 2 reduce my fam's carbon footprint. Id expect someone with a deadly allergy 2 TELL ME cuz that's THEIR responsibility!! Cooking some1 a meal IS a nice thing 2 do no matter if u give them fake meat or not. If hed said "I need 2 kno whats in this cuz I'm allergic 2 stuff" then OBVI id tell him it wasn't real meat. Even real frozen meat balls could contain soy tho!

OP absolutely should have disclosed her allergies, no matter what the food was. My son has a life-threatening allergy to pineapple, and the very first thing he tells people when they invite him to have a meal is, “Just so you know, I have a very severe allergy to pineapple.” Before he sits down, he then reminds them of the allergy and asks about the ingredients of anything he’s not sure about. It may have saved his life one time when the host did not realize there was pineapple in the bottled sauce she used on the chicken; only discovering it when my son asked to read the ingredients off the bottle. Yes, roommate is the a**hole for pulling the bait-and-switch, but OP is responsible for informing anyone serving her food that she has an allergy that can kill her.

The thing I have the most problem with is the fact that someone believes fake bacon is real pork bacon 🥓 😐. I've seen it all and eaten tons of different brands and not one kind of fake bacon remotely looks like real pork bacon. It looks closer to begging strips for dogs, honestly. I have a hard time finding it believable that the OP didn't really question the authenticity of the meat based on looks alone, not to mention the smell is far different also. This is just nuts.

I agree that stuff is obviously very fake. Plus I know when any food I'm allergic to is cooked, tiny molecules of allergens are released. I can be on opposite side of the house but if someone starts cooking seafood I will immediately get severe asthma attack and start getting anaphylaxis. So I find it suspicious that allergy person was in the house that whole time and never even felt ill while the fakon was cooking.

I developed an allergy to bell peppers later on in life when my auto immune condition became active. Thankfully it's not anaphylaxis, but it's pretty miserable in that, as the allergist explained, I get hives in my GI tract (leading to exactly what you're thinking about 15 min after the first bite). I always check ingredients for myself and ask for seasonings to be left off burgers/steaks/fries except for S&P when I'm out. You have to advocate for yourself if you don't want to be sick, because nobody else knows what it's going to feel like but you.

No, the OP isn't. The roommate is responsible for not lying about what's in food. An allergy medical condition you are not obligated to share with anyone unless you want to. She asked the ingredients and was lied to, end of story. It is in no way her fault that she was lied to and saying she should have told her to prevent being lied to is some next level mental gymnastics.

Really? Where did she ask "Is there any soy in this food"? Where did the roommate say "Nope. No soy." The soy allergy girl is responsible for disclosing her deadly allergies, especially to a known vegetarian cooking her a meal. End of fake story. You could use some mental exercise to learn how to identify clearly made up stories.

So, you don't believe in common sense and knowledge? You're giving OP credit for "proactively" asking what the ingredients are at the last minute but you're saying that OP had no reason to PROACTIVELY tell the new, known to be vegetarian, roommate that she has a deadly allergy to some of the foods the new roommate may eat before the roommate made a rent agreement and moved in? I'd be willing to bet that this didn't play out as the AITA script would like us to believe. OP would have had no legal standing once it was found out that she didn't make her allergies known.

As a vegetarian, I would have been furious if the roles were reversed and someone had tricked me into eating meat. I would never, ever lie to someone about food. It is an aboslute no-go (you never know who might have allergies or relgious reasons for not eating certain foods, especially 'unclean' meats like pig meat). Allergies aside, the new flatmate was absolutely in the wrong and suing for the medical costs seems reasonable. Having her charged with a felony is completely over the top though. Everyone is a bit stupid at that age and being sued would have been 'lesson' enough. A felony will ruin her for life. The authorn should have informed her of any allergies before having the new flatmate move in, and defintely before letting her into the kitchen. I accidently sent my flatmate to hospital at that age because I didn't wash-up a jar of pesto and left it in the sink once. Thankfully we weren't in the USA. Anything can happen with allergies! It was irresponsible not to be clear on tha

The problem here is that the felony charges came first. OP said her uncle, a lawyer, explained she would win a lawsuit if the roommate was found guilty of the tampering charges. This was a deliberate 1-2 punch to ensure a win on the coverage of medical costs.

As a vegetarian I disagree. Vegetarians are usually so for ethical reasons. Omnivores eat plant based foods as well as meat, and, usually don't have ethical reasons for not eating plant based foods. So there's quite a bit of a contextual difference in the roles being reversed. I do agree though that if someone has food allergies they should absolutely be upfront with their roommates from the beginning. That's a pretty important piece of information. Even in my kids school students have to disclose their allergies so each class can post outside the door in case there are ever any foods in the classes, and there are certain tables kids with allergies are supposed to sit at in the dining hall.

"unclean' meats like pig meat" pork is just as clean as any other common and uncommon meat and has the same risk factors as all others if consumed raw or undercooked. The idea that pork is dirty is based on religious beliefs and antiquated practices or a lack of that allowed parasites to infect pigs. These same lack of proper livestock management was not limited to pigs and was also commonplace in beef and poultry farming. If you want to see where parasites are more commonplace then take a look at seafood, wild caught fish will have thin hair like worms in the meat.

I agree. I have to go back to veganism for health reasons. And whenever I have food with my friends, I won't switch things or try to coerce them. If they look at my food and they're curious, I'll ask if they want to try it. It's not that hard. If they say no then they don't want it. There it is leave it alone. I couldn't imagine switching food on people. That's f****** horrible. I will say though that the op is a raging piece of s***. I have a severe allergy to shrimp, my husband has a severe allergy and mushrooms. We don't ask people what's in the food. That is such an open-ended question and it doesn't present any sort of urgency. We will die and hence this is an urgent situation even though it's just food. So we let everyone know we will die if we eat this is there any of that in there. It's not that hard. And I got to tell you that someone who doesn't recognize fake meat especially bacon at sight, and doesn't ask these questions, I have to ask if she did it on purpose just to get $

Well you should be smart enough to tell your roommate that you are allergic to soy or tell her you'll prepare your own breakfast that way there's no mistakes. When you have a food allergy like that, it's your responsibility to take care of yourself and make sure you don't eat the wrong things.

Yep. You don't lie about what you're serving to prove a point or try to force your dietary choices on others. Should the OP have told her about the allergy? Absolutely, especially since she said she was vegetarian. As a vegetarian... I don't eat soy, especially when it's been done up to be like meat. I personally find it vile, but to each their own. A felony charge does seem a bit much, but maybe that was the only way? I'm not familiar enough with the American legal system to make a call on that one.

I'm gluten intolerant. It's not really life threatening, but it is painful and unpleasant if I eat wheat, barley, or rye. If someone had *just moved in with me* and was cooking for me, it would be the first thing I mentioned. Yes, it's not cool that the roommate pretended the bacon was regular bacon- she could have said "would you like to try my meat free bacon?". But it's supremely uncool that OP escalated it to law enforcement over an act that was not malicious. A felony is a serious thing and closes so many doors for people.

The OP cannot have her charged with food tampering. That is the number 1 tell that this story is false. Charges are determined by the DA. This situation describes a misdemeanor of criminal negligence at the most. That's only because the roommate "fibbed". The OP said she asked what the meal was and Erin said bacon. Any defense lawyer would eat the this story for breakfast, by asking if there is anything truly criminal about a roommate calling immitation bacon, bacon, especially without knowledge of a food allergy, that the OP did not mention when the roommate offered to make breakfast and the OP agreed to let her make it and then consume it. THERE WAS NO FOOD TAMPERING. Also I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that anyone deathly allergic to soy wouldn't have an eppi pin on the house.

It is illegal to pretend food is one thing when it is another. That counts as "tampering". For example, there was a major lawsuit when soda shops would simply sell customers glasses of Pepsi when they asked for Coke, without telling them, because Pepsi wasn't widely known at the time. The shops and Pepsi lost because you can't lie to people about their food with the intent to deceive. If the event hadn't been filmed, she likely could have argued that she had called it bacon, because it was soy bacon, and it was a misunderstanding. There would have been a lot more wiggle room. But since they had footage of her pulling a "gotcha!" reveal, then it's pretty obvious she had been deceptive and purposely lied about the nature of the food. Their hands would be tied due to the undeniable evidence fitting the technical definition. It does seem the court/ judge realized it wasn't malicious since they didn't give any jail time, and the lowest possible punishment.

OP is definitely an a**hole. I understand making her pay for your bills and suing her for refusing to. But a felony charge is not cool. You ruined her life because YOU didn't disclose your DEADLY allergic to soy. My friend is deadly allergic to pork, and ALWAYS discloses that anytime she isn't preparing her own food. If someone makes her chicken with broccoli she'll be like, "fyi, I'm literally deathly allergic to pork". This has saved her numerous times. In that instance the person was like, "oh my god!

And the number 2 rule is to check the ingredients yourself because it's not the cook's responsibility to know every alternate name an allergen might be called.

Especially since OP didn't say "The reason why I'm asking abou the food is I'm deathly allergic to a few things." She's telling the internet her allergies so it's not that private. If you have deathly allergies and roomates, you should tell the roomates what they are. A vegitarian is going to cook soy food. There could be cross examination. It's your business to inform of allergies. Not there's to try to find out.

Yep. You should definitely tell roommates your allergies. However, I repeatedly tell people I live what I'm allergic to, and they repeatedly forget. "Just want to remind you that I'm allergic to raw tomatoes." Roommate makes salad with tomatoes in it. "Jesus, Brad! We just talk about this, like, five minutes ago!" Brad's dumb*as response: "I forgot. You could just pick them out." No, Brad! I can't! (Brad no longer lives here.)

The author should have made it patently clear to the new housemate of her allergies before she moved in. The roommate did pull a nasty type of trick but she did not have the intention to make you ill, she simply did not know of the author’s allergy to soya. Also, why did the author not have instant access to an epi pen? I think the author should be ashamed for putting someone into financial difficulties and do something to alleviate Erin’s hardship even after such a long time. The author cannot assume everyone knows of her allergies, it her responsibility to inform people.

I say YTA. I get that you got to the hospital which was unpleasant and life threatening and also expensive ( Long live the US). BUT she didnt mean to cause any harm she just wanted to surprise you and see if you like vegetarian food or not. she wanted your unbiased genuine reaction. You sholud have agreed ( ideally without police and court) that she would cover your medical bills plus maybe some extra money for the trouble. I dont exactly know what is inluded in felony but it sounds as something from the criminal code. Her life is now ruined completely. You should have told her about your allergies and if you saw something is off with the bacon you should have asked if it is meatless or regular. she said it was bacon and for her it was. it is called bacon so for her it is bacon she wasnt lying. it was natural for her. you did not wonder that a vegetarian is cooking with meat? you should have explicitely asked about soy. it was a typical vegetarian d**k move but YT bigger A than her.

Okay but OP also knew this girl was a vegetarian... why would a vegetarian go out and buy tons of meat to make a bunch of strangers breakfast.... like, I think that there were plenty of context clues pointing at what she was doing and all of this could have been avoided is OP just said "ok, I'm not allergic to bacon but i Am extremely allergic to soy so if you're making anything with soy please tell me" And can someone please show me where to get FAKE bacon that actually looks and tastes like real bacon? Because I've been mainly plant based for years and I haven't found one fake bacon product that doesn't look/smell/taste like the furthest thing from bacon... fake bacon looks SO much different than real bacon.

The only point that I can see that OP is, truly, ATA is that she didn't disclose her allergies at the start. If she is as deathly allergic as she says any cross contamination would result in the same thing happening. The onus is on her to protect herself. It's amazing the comments I see crucifying the roommate along with OP while holding OP out as a blameless victim.

You are absolutely the ass hole. You idiot you have a life threatening food allergy to one or maybe more food items and u never told your room mate. The girl just moved in.. How was she supposed to know. You need to mention this immediately to everyone who knows u. And teach them how to use the pen. Why didn't u examine all the ingredients yourself. Processed food has a million items many with 2 names and to someone with no allergies this would never cross their mind before they are told. She should have been told as soon as she walked in the door so that she never left the soy or whatever It was lying around or came in contact with any of your stuff or in case of something like a spillage soshe knew the importance of cross contamination. But no instead u sat down asked her what was in it and never told her your allergy situation and ate the food.... Every idiot out there knows vegans substitute meat/meals for other items like soy or god knows what. Anyone with an allergy will say it

Ive got tons of allergies and I am leaning towards middle here. OP did overkill in response, but OP should have disclosed allergies (like I do). Erin shouldn't have lied, but since there's no intent to harm via an attack on allergies, going to cops is overkill. Making her pay for the hospital visit is reasonable. In my own case I had something like this happen at a restaurant. They didn't disclose a deadly ingredient. Instead of being an asshole and suing them for the hospital visit, I realised I was an idiot for not checking, so I didn't sue. However in this case the person lied and deserved the lawsuit at least.

Also, an allergy test a few years ago showed a slight reaction to chicken's egg, but as I was a vegan already then, I don't know ... doc said it may be bad, it may be insignificant, but as I won't try above trace-level eggs being in any food, ... I guess I'm kinda safe (at least, the traces that MAY be inside stuff either aren't there at all - purposefuly put in, I am sure aren't - , or not enough to cause a reaction, which tells me that is isn't severe).

Did they not realize that Erin's vegan food, which is very likely to contain soy, would be in the kitchen and possibly mixing with the non soy food? Did that thought ever cross their mind? I would think most folks that have a serious allergy to something would want to keep it out of the house as much as possible. How was the subject not brought up during the roommate interview? That's why I think O.P. is the biggest A.H. of the 2.

Why would you let a vegetarian move in with you without telling them about your allergy if you're deathly allergic to soy? You know that it's probably going to be a large part of their cuisine and theres a risk of cross contamination.

Honestly, I think the entire thing is made up. There is absolutely no way a charge would stick when the girl was never told about the allergies.

As someone with allergies and with siblings with more allergies, I'm pretty sure this story is fake. First, No judge would find the roommate guilty of Food Tampering: a charge meaning that the accused KNOWINGLY placed a substance that is dangerous or deadly someone's food. Despite the idea that the roommate should have told the Op what was happening, the cook thought they were just showing people a food alternative- made out of typically healthy, safe ingredients. Second, The OP should have disclosed this when first offered food by a stranger, especially if it is so severe, asking people to list out ingredients ( did op even ask for ingredients? Or did she just ask what it contained? I feel just the wording of those two questions alone would give two different answers...) without stating there is a deadly allergen, would leave room for small trace amount ingredients to fall through cracks- what if they used an egg substitute/containing/ soy? They might forget to say that. Let me know I

I really hope this is “fake news”. To destroy someone’s life on purpose because you lacked the ability or care to be completely upfront and honest is inconceivable. As someone that chooses not to eat soy. I read every ingredient on every product. And guess what 99% of all products on the shelve contain soy and this includes meat products. (Especially if that meat product is a less expensive one). Ohhh not to mention most animals are fed soy as well. Including pigs, chickens, and cows. So if this were a real allergy you would intensely read every product label. Ohh yeah soy is also in a lot of over the counter medications. And you would never go out to eat for any reason.

I felt really sad that the girl lost her scholarship and dropped out of school to pay medical bills. Also, for someone deathly allergic shouldn't they be carrying an epi-pen? As someone who is vegan, I like cooking for others and I understand not wanting to say something is vegan because some people still have this conditioning or idea that vegan food tastes bad or they have a wrong impression of it. I also have allergies and always ask if anyone has any allergies before I give them food without needing to say this is vegan bacon or vegan meat etc. My family ate my vegan food never realizing the difference or knowing they were eating vegan for 8 months. But i also never told them it was meat either. I double checked that they don't have allergies and cooked from there. Sometimes they'd ask what's in there, and I would give them a full ingredients list. They asked for the recipe & thought I didn't include meat on the list as it was obvious that it has meat & not necessary to write it do

The notion that this was “a felony crime” is blatantly absurd and farcical. To put it plainly, this is outright fiction. Food tampering laws (criminal) in the US (and most of Western Europe) have to meet certain thresholds based upon either “intent or prior knowledge”. If you first told your roommate that you were deathly allergic to soy products (and you were able to prove that you had, unequivocally) and she subsequently put it in food that she made for the whole house (“communal opportunity precedent”) and you ate it, it wouldn’t meet these predicated thresholds for ANY criminal offense. However, if you explicitly told your roommate(and could prove it) that you were deathly allergic to soy products and then she cooked food specifically for you and coerced you to eat it by lying and under false pretenses, you would have a better criminal case. Even then I seriously doubt you could find a ADA that would file criminal charges, let alone prosecute.

I really believe this is fake because I don't see a case for food tampering or why someone would be charged with that. The food wasn't tampered with, it was prepared as intended for roommates and did not contain any poison. Fibbing about an ingredient isn't food tampering, especially if you have no knowledge that the everyday normal ingredient is lethal. It also would seem odd that the best friend would film the breakfast they were surprised the new roommate was making to be nice. The roommate was maybe criminally negligent at best.

One thing that doesn't add up is that she states she knew in advance that the new roommate was a vegetarian. How many vegetarians go around buying and cooking pork for others? Some have already pointed out that there's no way to mistake vegetarian for pork bacon. Seriously, how dumb would you have to be to think that a vegetarian cooked you pork bacon and you can't even tell that it is fake bacon. Add to that your deathly allergic to soy, which everyone knows is commonly found in vegetarian foods. Anyone with a life-threatening soy allergy is aware that vegetarian/vegan foods are commonly made with soy. Anyone who takes their food allergies seriously does not eat food that they didn't prepare or observe being prepared if it is made by someone who is not fully aware of their food allergies. If she used even just half of her brain, she would not have eaten the bacon.

If this is real, then I’ve completely lost what little shred of faith I still have in the American judicial system. This girl JUST moved in, she told everyone she’s a vegetarian, but doesn’t know about anyone else’s dietary restrictions & is making breakfast for everyone? That’s when you specify that you have a severe allergy to soy & confirm that there is no soy in the food. Especially bc when you buy soy based bacon at the store, it says “BACON” on the packaging. If, in fact, this chick asked her what it was & she simply said “bacon,” she wasn’t wrong. When we eat “regular bacon” we don’t say it’s “pork based bacon, from a pig” we say “bacon.” If a vegetarian says “bacon,” & you know that IF SHE MEANS soy based vegan bacon, it might kill you…it’s on you to say “wait. Pork bacon? Or vegan bacon?” And then, like magic, none of this bullshit happened & you didn’t ruin someone’s life. If you have a food allergy, that’s your responsibility. A FELONY? She wasn’t trying to kill anyone

Looking at this situation : a known Vegetarian is cooking meat for breakfast; perhaps you should consider it is more likely than not a plant based alternative? Soy is a common ingredient in plant based “meats”. Also, some people use soybean oil in their cooking, so just the fact of knowing you are sharing a kitchen should have prompted a mention of any severe food allergies BEFORE the new roommate ever brought any food in. Your negligence in failing to do this should actually prove her act not to be criminal. She tried to trick you and your other roommate and that was not right, but it wasn’t criminal. Best answer to this was you should have split payment of the medical bills in half because you both made a costly mistake, but criminal, nope.

Why on earth are people assuming a vegan would cook animal meat for others? Poor vegan girl. Absolutely did not deserve to have her life ruined by a reckless girl with a deadly allergy, all because she called the vegan bacon "normal" and the allergy girl didn't say anything about being deathly allergic to anything after that. "Normal" isn't a legally binding term and means different things to everyone. Allergy girl most likely has a bias against vegans and wanted to use her privilege to hurt someone who practices abstaining from using animals. What an AHole. Vegan girl never lied or "switched" up anything. Does the vegan girl have a GoFundMe page and does anyone know who she is (her name/contact)? Serious inquiries only please.

I have a lot of very serious food allergies and I always insist on reading the ingredients if someone else cooks something. It's not that I think they're trying to kill me, it's that a lot of people don't know where there are hidden allergens or flat out don't realize something is the same as the allergen. For example I'm allergic to wheat. Most soy sauces contain wheat (which normal people don't realize). I've also been in the hospital and been given white bread and will have nurses arguing with me that white bread doesn't contain wheat and wheat bread is brown and not white. Nope - it's all from the same grain, just one has the outer bran removed. If someone who didn't know me just made me a meal I would have specified in particular certain ingredients. At the same time, because I know allergens are serious, I always provide a complete ingredient list, even if it's something as minor as a pinch of cinnamon.

Honestly your roommates an a-hole, but I'm surprised she was found guilty of the crime described since it mentions "knowingly" and "reckless disregard" because those to be imply she knew about your allergy yet choose to proceed anyways, which she didn't...

I think both parties bear equal responsibility for this. I have a very severe nut allergy and I make absolutely sure that anyone preparing food for me knows this. One of the first things I did with my partner was to tell them this and to show them where I keep my Epipens and how to use them. I cannot think of any reason why you would not tell anyone who is preparing food for you about a potentially lethal food allergy. Although the room mate was a total asshat for not being honest about what food they were preparing, I doubt they would have continued the subterfuge if they had been aware of the OP's allergy.

I am kind of shocked OP is still alive tbh. I mean Erin told them about her being a vegetarian which would've been a great time to tell her about OP's severe allergic reactions, nope. At breakfast they are shocked and only half ass the questions knowing Erin is a vegetarian, could've been a great time to mention the severe allergy, nope. Ate some food that felt off and then decided to eat the bacon too, at no point saying "hey, if this is soy, it could kill me". Amazing she won any suit with her being somewhat at fault as well. On top of all of that they don't realize that a felony of any kind would be bad for someone's record? You should NEVER tamper with anyone's food but anyone with any issue to food knows damn well to not play around especially knowing the American health system and your life depending on it. Also, why would the friend be recording the breakfast? That seemed like it sure was helpful to the story so I really hope this is a lie.

as someone who was a vegetarian for about 2 years. i cooked my food and had friends and family try it without telling them what it actually was. there was no malicious intent. its something we all do. "hey, try this you will like it" type thing. its stupid for someone with a food allergy to not tell someone who made them food , that they have severe allergies. thats like if i had to go to the ER from an accident and i needed pain killers, and i didnt tell the dr. that i am severly allergic to morphine. that would be my fault.

New girl is a horrible person, but I'm sorry. I'm an adult, as I assume this woman is supposedly going to college (which confuses me because she's dumb as hell I think she needs to go back to high school), I have a severe allergy to shrimp, and my husband is severely allergic to mushrooms. If we eat these things we will go into anaphylactic shock. I'm not going to ask someone "Hey, what's this made of?". That leaves It wide Open for someone to not take this seriously. Because you're not telling them you have an allergy, you're not telling them that it matters, you're just asking what's in it. That's f****** stupid. If your life is on the line you don't ask what's in the food, you put on your big girl pants and you say hey I've got an allergy, this is what it is. Is there any of that in this because if I eat it I will die. This is what we tell the waiters. We make sure to cover our ass, and we make sure to cover their ass.

I'd like to think this is a fake story to gather opinions, it's an intriguing situation. If I were "deathly" allergic to anything I would immediately put the word out. It could cost you your life. So many ingredients can be combined in a recipe. SPEAK UP. The poor girl was obviously trying to share something new with her roommate. Even if she was being "smug" it doesn't sound like she was trying to be malicious. She apologized, still she definitely needed to help pay for the medical expenses, but this eagerness to unnecessarily slap another person with a felony charge is pathetic. Why? Do you think she's going to go around poisoning people?? It was a mistake. Thankfully the girl didn't die. Instead she went on to tout her victory on social media. Talk about smug. You can't play the victim AND be self-righteous at the same time.

I have this nifty thing called a Medical Alert Bracelet because I have several things that can harm or kill me. The only time I don't wear it is when I go to bed.

I can't imagine not telling a new roommate that you have a deathly allergy to Soy Beans especially since their vegetarian and soy is their substitute for a lot of things. That should have been in the first conversation. 'Hey I don't care if you're vegetarian but please make sure all soy products are kept separate - I'm severally allergic'. I don't know how the heck you don't have that conversation unless this happened in the 70's! 80's and beyond saw Soy Milk and a ton of Soy food alternatives become a major thing though some were introduced in the 60's.

There is nothing wrong in expanding one’s mind about the food spectrum by tricking them a little bit. Parents use it to learn their kids to appreciate the taste of vegetables, so why can’t roommates (or husbands and wives) do the same with vegetarian alternatives. The only thing wrong here is that the OP didn’t inform the roommate about the allergies. And it sounds ridiculously American that the roommate is sued for this mistake.

The disproportionate response is what makes the OP the a*****e. In 99.9999% of the time, this would have resulted in nothing. I have literally been on professional food tours where they've done the "surprise! It's vegan!" While likely smug and annoying, she had no malicious intent and did not deserve to have her life permanently ruined for this. The OP also recovered fairly quickly, with no long lasting affects outside of the medical debt. Suing for medical bills would have been above board, but the felony criminal charges and causing the girl to lose her scholarship and drop out make OP an a*****e.

I'm glad I don't know you personally. To drag your roommate over the coals because she was unaware of your soy allergy. You withheld this crucial information from her? You went to pretty extreme measures handling this. You took legal course of action that ruined your roommates life, sticking her with a felony conviction and suing her for hospital stay. My question is why you didn't tell her about your allergy to start with? You're negligent on that part. My opinion is yes you're the a hole for how you dealt with this plus your best friend records the scene and uses it against this Erin girl. WTF, I'm glad I don't know you your best friend. You withhold crucial information like that and then file police reports get your uncles lawyer friend involved so you can ruin a person's life goals and play the victim?

First of all how can you not tell the difference between real bacon and vegetarian bacon? They both look and smell completely different. Vegetarian bacon when fried has the same stiffness as turkey bacon. Pork bacon will shrink or have some sorts of curves or bend to it after frying. Pork bacon produces oil (the good one anyways) and vegetarian bacon does not.. you have to add something to the pan to give it that "fry" effect. The fact that you didn't tell her your allergies and admitted it is YOUR FAULT and was manipulative if you ask me. You knew this girl was vegetarian but you expected her to cook you something seperate? Entitled much? The roommate is not off the hook though. She deliberately lied about the bacon and should be held responsible for the hospital bill ONLY because she lied but you going to the police after and making it seem like she intentionally tried to kill you on purpose is f**cked up! You pulled a Karen move and messed up someone else's future.

This entire situation could have been prevented by the girl who was cooking TELLING THE TRUTH!!!!! She was asked what all was in the food. A person with a halfway functional brain would have probably wondered why that was a concern. Instead she lied to try and push her lifestyle on other people. She is 100% responsible for everything that happened.

OP is stupid for not sharing her allergies before eating food that the new roommate prepared. My 2 year old cousin is deathly allergic to eggs and dairy. Even skin contact causes her to blister into a rash, and eating any eggs or dairy means she has to be stabbed with her EpiPen and taken to the hospital. She was having a very hard time with none of the Christmas goodies being safe for her to eat, so I doubled checked her allergies with my aunt and made her vegan sugar cookies. First words out of her mouth were, "I can't have this. I'm allergic." So her mom explained to her that she could have them, that they're special cookies and just for her. And she was SO excited and kept saying, "Thank you!" And, "Yummy Mommy!" But she knows her allergies and knows that normally cookies are not okay, and she's 2. OP is in college and doesn't mention she has deathly allergies before eating food prepared by someone who doesn't know about her allergies? Something is definitely off.

It's not a legal obligation to tell someone what you're allergic to. You have to look at the facts. She said it was bacon to surprise her that it was vegetarian. That's all there is to it. She didn't ask for a vegan breakfast, she didn't deliberately go and endanger her own life. This is open and shut when you look at it legally. The former roommate suffered yes, but she did that to herself. I'm not even being cold hearted here, because no one would be complaining had the author died from this.

Plenty of people calling the author out for being a narcissist who was completely at fault for eating food prepared by someone else without telling them about her allergies, considering soy is in everything and she's deathly allergic, but I can't believe all the idiots calling the vegan an asshole just for trying to show people that cruelty-free food is worth the switch. Clearly she used the wrong kind of bacon if the author could quickly taste the difference but no it wasn't an "a**ho**" thing to cook her vegan food without saying it was vegan. Would you let a cannibal know you didn't put human flesh in the stew? No. The cannibal knows you're not a cannibal and would never cook a human. She was an a**h*** for expecting a vegan to give her pig skin for breakfast. If you have no respect for veganism don't be friends with one or have one as a roommate. It's literally an entire way of life based on compassion and animal equality. So many bad people hating people for caring.

in this case ok, it was irresponsible to do that kind of surprise or joke with someone you just met, but she was probably just trying to surprise the other girl without thinking about it very well, she didnt mean no harm, she didnt knew that she couldnt eat soy,, also regular non vegan people can eat vegan food, while vegan cant eat meat, that why I think its not the same as replacing vegan meat with real meat in a vegan person's food, I'm vegetarian and people already swiped my food with meat, but I didn't charge them with felony, I just puked because I'm vegetarian since I was 4 so my body refuses it and said to never do this again, since this girl had a worst physical reaction than mine I think it would be fair to the vegetarian girl to pay the hospital bills but putting a charge in the vegetariam girl is way too much

The OP should have directly told the new roommate about her allergies before she moved in. Also she should have put a notice on the refrigerator stating each and every allergy. She also should have gone the the procedure in the event that the OP had a severe allergic reaction. Like what to do in an emergency. Where her Epi-Pen is located, how to administer it,how to manage a seizure if one occurs and what to tell paramedics on scene. Never expect that someone will just know what to do. My husband is horrible in an emergency. He's the last person you want to be responsible for you in an emergency. Our four year old would be better equipped. OP ruined this roommates life because she couldn't be bothered to discuss her food allergens. OP is definitely the a**hole.

As a chef, and vegetarian, I always ask about allergies. However, I would not expect a young college student to be as aware of this. I let everyone know my allergies. Also, wearing a medical bracelet and putting medical decals on fridge etc. would have helped. Both are equally (culpable) responsible for this tragic episode. Furthermore, why on earth would you call the police. Erin , obviously had no intend on killing or hurting anyone. This could have been settled in civil claims court. Very bad advice from your uncle to obtain a felony charge. Depending on where this happened she may never be able to get this expunged. Felonies are forever in most cases. So shame, Shame on you!

The OP is definitely the a**hole for not telling her new roommate about her allergies. The new roommate had no clue. While I think the new roommate is an a**hole for lying about the bacon she didn't deserve to have her life ruined over this. I am allergic to strawberries. Anytime I go to a restaurant that has shakes I wish I could have one but I can't. On ice cream/frozen yogurt machines the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry dispensers are right next to one another so there is always cross contamination. My son has a life and death allergy to lavender. You can't imagine to huge amount of everyday products have lavender in them. Everyone is constantly checking labels to make sure he's safe. We found out about his severe allergy in kindergarten while on a field trip to the zoo. He had a seizure and almost died. He had to be life flighted out of there. He has alot of allergies but it's his most serious.

Your best friends knew your allergic. It's common sense actually. Yes, you are kinda an ass for that, but you also could have died. This also is on you and just saying the truth. From the very beginning you should have told her if you was allergic to anything since she was vegan. It's just like if you didn't know someone had a gluten free because of issues and you give them gluten they can die. You must be up front and honestly you need to figure out how to make it up to her since she did not know because you did not tell her from the talk a month before. That was a 50/50 f**k up. You shouldn't have did what you did and she shouldn't have either but again how was she supposed to know? You kinda ruined her life.

U could have spoken up when she said hey i am going to cook u breakfast. I mean u know shes vegetarian. So wouldn't u think y would she cook meat. U should have told her ok, but btw i have severe food allergies. Then if she still lied about the soy products after knowing then u should have pressed charges. U never told her so, that's on u. My friend is allergic to chicken if he eats out he tells the staff he has a food allergy. If he didnt and they served him something containing chicken how could he blame them if they did not know. Unless restaurants start listing every ingredient on their menu. And then there could be when someone cooks burgers on a grill that they cooked chicken on a minute ago. Or soy burgers or whatever the allergy may be. If u dont tell them how can they know? It doesn't make sense.

If you live with an allergy that can end your life it is your responsibility to check everything you put into your mouth. It is also your responsibility to tell people "these are things that could kill me, did you use any of them?" The OP has obviously been treated like a victim her whole life by family & carried this attitude in to adulthood. Ive known many people with allergies and they go out of their way to let anyone touching their food know they could die from ingredients. I don't understand the absolute ignorance when someone tells you they are a vegetarian and you would think they cooked bacon for you? When you invite someone to live in your home, it is your responsibility to let them aware from day one if you are deathly allergic. If you had told her you're allergic to soy and she gave it to you anyway then I could understand but you didn't & that's on you. I dont believe this story or that anyone would charge this girl with a felony. There was no attempt to harm.

You have the allergy. You should have told her that. You ruined her life because you didn't take responsibility for your own condition. The world doesn't owe you anything because you have a condition. And it's no one's responsibility but YOURS to screen what you eat. You were an irresponsible child and you made someone else pay for it. Everything that happened to you was your own fault and you couldn't face that so you blamed someone else. You should be ashamed of yourself. Frankly, you disgust me.

A lot of vegetarian food contains soy. I feel like that's a pretty well known fact. If I were OP I would have pressed harder knowing Erin is a vegetarian and probably eats a ton of soy proteins She was risking cross contamination too by having someone who's diet primarily consists of her allergen move in. Seems like it would be common sense for anyone with a food allergy to inform potential new roommates of it before they move in.

What if she made something with soy in it and didn't properly clean up afterwards?

You have a friend of an uncle that is a lawyer providing services without charge. That is privilege that you are born with. Your roommate did not have the ability to hire a lawyer or even purchase liability insurance and because of that, is unable to defend herself fairly in a US court. With privilege, there is a class responsibility to understand how your actions can destroy other people's lives. It seems people in the United States are particularly lacking in polite manner. Medical bills are expensive, but they are cheaper for you than for her. I also have a food allergy. There is an Indian restaurant I could have owned for them putting me into shock in 2008, but I didn't. I am responsible for my own health.

The author is the biggest asshole. Yeah Erin may have been misleading or a bit ignorant - but definitely not cause to ruin her life. Like seriously she lost her scholarship and got a felony charge that now follows her for the rest of her life!!?? Sounds way extreme to me -people are being pardoned for worse. That's why I'm not sure if this is even real cuz I don't know how any Court would put all the blame on this poor woman. I can see maybe paying the hospital bills but anything beyond that is just injustice. The author should have made it clear that she was deathly allergic - not just asking what was in it. Because say hypothetically Erin didn't know what was in it or forgot to mention an ingredient - I don't see how that is a criminal act?? The author is a major asshole and to ruin somebody's life because she was ignorant to her own condition? I really hope this is fake and if not - I hope the author gets what's coming to her...

I dont agree with food tampering she did not tamper directly with the food. She did not alter it in any way. As for who is to blame? They both are. The girl cooking did make her breakfast in hopes to show soy food tasted like meat, but if you have allergies it is 100% up to you to advocate for you needs. She very well could have said FYI I have these allergies. I bet if the woman that cooked it knew she had an allergy she would have stopped her from eating it. I have worked in the restaurant/food industry for 17 years and allergies are very serious, but I have never met a person who wasn't very clear with me what their allergies entailed. In the end both to blame and both should split the cost for being idiots. And no one should have gottena felony. Also, final thought how did the woman with allergies not think that's weird this vegetarian is making me bacon...🤔 could she honestly not tell it wasn't meat. I have never .et a bacon alternative that looked and smelled like the real deal. Close but not the same.

If this story is true, then ESH.

Nobody is required to provide their medical information nor allergies. In fact, there are laws in place to allow people that privacy. When someone specifically asks what's in a dish, that provides "reasonable" clue to mention any ingredient known to be a common allergy. It's considered common knowledge that one should mention ingredients classified as common allergens. The fact is, she said it was regular bacon. Cross contamination by the food company or trace soy content in a seasoning is one thing, but Erin flat out lied. She deliberately hid ingredients and deliberately mislead OP and their other roommate. There would have been opportunities during the legal proceedings for mediation, which would have been something the lawyers would have delt with arranging if Erin wanted that option. OP and Erin both have legal options that could potentially seal the felony record. Either could file paperwork to petition for removal of the felony charge, but that depends on several factors.

Such a fake stupid story. I'm surprised it's re poster as real. Anyone with a deadly allergy would diligently check. Soy is often hidden in many foods including oil and packaged pancakes. Fake bacon looks fake unless she's blind also. The taste and texture totally different... Who is with a deadly allergy wouldn't have an EpiPen. Why would she need to be hospitalized two days. Why would the girl lose a scholarship. It's not food tampering. Food tampering is malicious intent to fool. Not telling a restaurant you have an allergy that got you sick would not be solely the restaurants fault. Especially not a felony. It is her duty to ask for ingredient list. Which I do know people with true allergies will do down to seasonings and oil and pan used. So FAKE

All I was thinking about is the fact that there r so many stubborn ass pple who REFUSE to even TRY a meat substitute just cuz its not real meat and they assume they wont like it, not giving a s**t that millions of animals suffer horrific abuse and that raising animals 4 meat is the biggest contributor to climate change there is!! I'm not even full vegan and I dont think I'm better than anyone, thats just the assumption of anyone who isn't vegetarian or vegan 4 some reason. Its so effing frustrating! I'd 100% expect 2 b told if some1 I cook 4 has a life threatening food allergy, period!

I guess the felony charge is due to the lawyer's advice in order to be able to get reimbursed for medical costs. The OP did ask Erin to pay the bill and she said "P*ss off".

I don't see the point but if you want to go vegetarian, you just do it until your heart's content! And more power to you! But don't you start preaching to me that I should follow you and that what I'm doing is wrong and all that other stuff. What would you have us do? Not kill animals and let them keep procreating and dying and burdening us with where and how to bury them? Would you burden us too with your psychological fault tendency - transference - that supposes our same mental capacities and self-awarenesses into animals? Hmmm.... Really don't appreciate that....."meat is murder..." Well..... Yes, you're right! It is! But it's not cannibalism. Science has proven plants grow thorns to prevent being eaten but we eat them. They feel pain too. Eating meat is part of the natural order of things.

I was given a beer from a friend Bryan Scott one time called Kona Brown Ale I thought it was infused with Chocolate, nope it was infused with Toasted Coconut. The friend knew I had a tree-nut Allergy but they did not realize that Coconuts were Big Tree Nuts. Luckily a 4 ounce bottle of Liquid Benadryl was all I needed. You did the right thing. Vegans know that other people are not vegans or vegetarian because of allergies. The person serving the food has the responsibility to ask about allergies when they do an impromptu meal.

You should have informed that girl of YOUR severe allergies BEFORE she even moved in with you bro. You effed up her life. YOU are the a$$wipe. Absolutely selfish. I work for an Allergy clinic. If you know that you can be hospitized from your reactions to certain items or foods don't have roommates that blindly walk into a situation. You should be sued for false representation or withholding life or death information. Just like if you have HIV and you dont inform your partners.

Not the smartest guy. But if she allergic to soy. How were you able to even be in the same house that said food was cooked in. The cooking of the soy bacon alone would triggered said allergy. My good friend allergic to peanuts. You can even open a peanut butter jar in front of him. Also I am allergic to bées which I inform everybody I meet and show them epi pen and how to use it. It's saved my life countless times. How one can chew and swallow something there deathly allergic to. Don't make sense. Sucks for everybody. In the end life's are ruined for misinformation. I would payed the bill myself. Felonies ruin humans life's to a degree that will leave them tainted for life. Humans flaw is somebody always has to be right. They even seek approval from others to justify there actions. One should never seek approvement for actions. Best of luck to both parties. Horrible lesson to learn.

Erin wasn't an ahole for wanting to share her passion with others. She was probably just excited and wanted to impress her new roomies. I will say it was wrong and a d**k move, tho, because a vegetarian would be pissed if the roles were reversed so I can see that argument. On to the situation itself, yes, the OP was a fn ahole. Sue her so she at least shares in the medical expenses? Sure. I can see that. To be so hateful that you call the police and get her charged with a felony? No, that's simply being petty and vindictive. It was a deliberate action done out of malice. Period. Which makes her a fn asshôle. Plus the law even states a deliberate action or indifference after the fact. By OPs account, she didn't act with indifference afterwards and even apologized and said she wouldn't have made it if she'd known. So again, the OP obviously lied in her interactions with the police and the court and got the girl wrongly convicted. OP is not just an asshôle, but a raging, petty af asshôle.

It's "funny" how the new roommate told she was a vegetarian, what it's not something that could kill her, but the OP didn't tell about the allergies for someone that would use the kitchen! And a vegetarian, who told you this, is cooking bacon to you? Really? Really that it seemed right to they? I'm not from US but I just can't believe that this kind of law would apply, and put it as a felony, to someone who didn't do it knowingly.

I went to New Orleans with a few ladies and one in particular IS Allergic to EVERYTHING , Instead she set us down and told us Everything she was allergic to so that it wouldn’t be no issues and it was well appreciated so we knew what to avoid when it came to her or food near her .. food tampering? It didn’t seem like that girl intended to hurt her. my opinion the girl with the allergies probably was already a bitch .. I feel like she was trying to introduce them to vegan food and it failed, My sister is vegan and try’s to introduce us to her food all the time for a healthier life but i too also have some allergies which is why i turn down a lot of food and just make my own because i can’t expect everyone to know that

I don't understand why she did not tell the girl, I would tell everyone I would eat with because even cheap meats, butter, and tons of stuff might have soy for a binder. How could she not tell fame bacon looks nothing like real bacon? And her roommate is vegetarian why would you think she would cook real bacon even for you. I'm vegan everyone I know assumes if I'm cooking it's vegan. Granted I would not lie about it of ask that was wrong, but she never said anything. I offer my family. and friends bites of vegan food all the time if it is something really good and I believe they will like it, without saying anything but I know the people who it might make sick so I don't with them I just tell them this recipe is really good you should try it with chicken or whatnot. Yes, the roommate was in the wrong for not saying what was in it, but to ruin her life for something you did not tell her seems way overboard.

You should have disclosed your food allergies to Erin your new roommate. I feel that you are the AH here because you filed a complaint with the Police on a girl who cooked you breakfast unbeknownst that you could die if you ate Soy. You admitted that you did not disclose that you had a food allergy when you asked her the ingredients. So Erin went along with her plan to see if you could tell the difference. Did you try to look at it from her side of the story? How could a poor college girl pay for the tens of thousands of dollars for your medical expenses? Isn't this what health insurance is for? Or did your parents send you off to school with no health care? You should have atleast medicaid or Medicare if your in poverty and a student!!!!????!! The poor girl had to drop out of school, get a felony charge, do community service, probably can't find a good job, and why because you forgot to tell her your food allergy when she was making breakfast. You Karen are the AH! How you 💤??

There are nuances to this situation, but it doesn't seem that complex to sort out. There appear to only be a couple of critical issues. The hospital costs have nothing to do with who has the majority of the responsiblity in this situation. Pertinent facts follow: - NTA has serious food allergies - NTA did nit disclose allergies - ERIN served a meal - NTA asked about the bacon - ERIN lied about the bacon - anaphylactic shock follows While NTA didn't disclose food allergies, they DID soecifically ask about thw natue of a specific food item, before eating it, abd were told a lie. I'n sure they would have been given a different answer if they had divulged their food issues, but the salient point is that they DID ask and were told a LIE. Thd deliberate asking and the deliberate lie fixes the majority of the blame in Erin, without question. Erin's case was adjudicated, i.e. she was offered a plea bargin to a lesser charge than she was.accused of. This case never went to a jury.

I am a vegetarian named Erin also (although I'd never do what she did). It was very immature for her to try to trick her roommate but I just can't wrap my head around not disclosing an allergy to a person you are living with. I tell everyone my dietary restrictions if food is involved because it's just common sense if you don't want to consume that food. I have been fed meat regardless of people knowing my diet so in my experience it's hard to trust people to be responsible/respectful. Soy is a sneaky ingredient it could be in butter and all kinds of things to make the breakfast. (My aunt has made me eggs and pancakes using a pan with the bacon grease "because it added flavor" fulling knowing I'm vegetarian") Also the fact a vegetarian is making you bacon would be a red flag. Each party is at fault here. Erin should have disclosed exactly what was in the food. She should asks before hand if allergies are present. And the roommate should have disclosed dietary restrictions beforehand.

I also don't think she had any sort of I'll intent in mind with switching the bacon...yeah gross, rude. She didn't know you had allergies, so it not like she put it in there intentionally to cause harm. You didn't tell her. The whole oh she said bacon and I can eat regular bacon so yeah thing? Seriously? There are so many different kinds of bacon out there that have different spices or made a certain way. If she said bacon that's where you take responsibility and say you need more clarification because of an allergy. YOU didn't tell her about YOUR allergy. She didn't even have a chance to make sure what she was making had nothing that would harm you. You ruined that poor girls life. All because you didn't do YOUR part by not telling her. My niece by age 3 knew to tell people about her allergies and you best believe it she made sure people knew. Take responsibility for your actions, that girl did nothing but try to be nice and make you breakfast.

In my opinion I th new girl should be the one suing in this situation. If I was going to be living with someone that has any sort of health condition that could potentially effect me ESPECIALLY a life or death situation I have a right to know. Being in a home environment with a severe allergy like that would make me think a little harder about whether or not I feel comfortable and confident that I could remember to keep your allergies in mind with my everyday living. Whether it be what I cook with, eat myself or how I clean after to make sure you don't touch something that has touched your allergy. It takes extra care and focus to make sure what you do doesn't cause a life-threatening reaction. She should have been told before she moved in. I mean she told you she was vegan right? She was considerate enough to let you know it wouldn't effect you all by not being able to cook meat or something. That right there should have been when you said you have serious allergic reactions to things

I agree with a lot of comments here. OP is a spectacularly stupid person. Is it that hard to tell someone who is preparing food for you that if it includes certain ingredients you might die? And the level of bitterness and resentment… be an adult. And the roommate’s switch might have been dumb or annoying, but is she really an “a**hole?” That’s a little much. Not something I would do but trying to feed someone vegetarian food and telling them it is not is not exactly a hostile act. It only went badly because the poster here, who is clearly a pretty hateful person (frankly) couldn’t be bothered to tell someone who was preparing food for her that she had this serious allergy. People like this like to sue restaurants too. They just expect everyone to read their minds or something. There is so much stupid here I can’t believe I’m commenting.

I'm calling BS. Fake bacon looks like Play-Doh. There's no way she would mistake fake bacon for real bacon. Absolutely no way. This is a lie from start to finish. Also people who have actual food allergies are very very careful putting anything into their mouth and careful to be certain what's in food and say things like, I have a deathly soy allergy. And there's no way that this would be considered food tampering. She didn't tamper with any food. There was no malicious intent. She would have never won in court. All. Lies.

Roommate is an ass for trying to push that lifestyle on others especially people that she doesnt know well enough to know their allergies. However, if I had life threatening allergies and knew I had a vegan roommate which the majority of what they eat contains soy I would have definitely made the allergy itself known instead of just asking what was in it..."what are we eating bc I am severely allergic to soy?". I think they were both careless...and the roommate should have definitely paid medical bills but criminal charges are a bit much...the intent was to have them try meatless food, not hurt someone...reckless but definitely not criminal...

It is your responsibility to inform about allergies. Knowing the roommate is vegan and frequently eats a food you're allergic to is something important to communicate because at some point cross contamination could happen.

As a former chef serve safe certified they're both kind of wrong. The girl was wrong to call it "bacon" true, but the person eating has the most responsibility for what they consume and to state that they have an allergy. In a kitchen special work is done to make sure everything is clean specially prepared if you have an allergy for no cross contamination. Asking ingredients doesn't ensure soy didn't come into contact at some point, knowing she's vegetarian and eats soy that would be important to share! If she had mentioned soy allergy specifically it wouldn't have happened! If it had been real bacon she could have cooked it in same pan as fake stuff she wouldn't have been lying. Be responsible for yourself if you have an allergy. Don't assume. Specifically state it!!

Your an asshole a big poop filled asshole who enjoys ruining others for their own gain. Nice job, im sure your life is super fulfilling seeing as how you have the time to set others up and then sue them. Oh and then post about it and ask if your the asshole. Winner winner right here.

I'm allergic to a lot of the things in fake meat after years of being forced to be vegetarian, so now every time I witness a vegan or vegetarian preaching or pushing their lifestyle I roll my eyes. That food isn't good for people, it's so highly processed, it isn't much better for the planet either - all those fields aren't forests and what it takes to keep them pest-free is terrible as well. The real problem is people who are obese because they gorge themselves on too much meat, but eating it in moderation is not only pretty sustainable but also the way we are naturally meant to eat for optimal health. I imagine most of the people defending Erin here are also vegan/vegetarian? Take your opinions and keep them to yourselves, you aren't raising awareness you're just pushing a misinformed belief system, worse, a system that only the wealthier can ascribe to. It's just ignorant.

Yes thank you! I understand how raising meat is inefficient and uses a lot but the idea that eating a vegan diet is harmless to the environment is a joke. They use land, resources, water electricity and fuel to process too. Unless farms are responsible they add to the prob. It's disregarding an entire part of our ecosystem. The farms that do the best utilize no til farming and allow grazing animals also because they positively impact the crops by stimulating growth from eating and trampling to adding depleted nutrients from the waste. There needs to be a balance of both. Humans are doing better to farm more symbiotic with nature vs cleaning land to grow one crop. Forest grows trees fine without tilling soil or keeping animals out. Native Americans said that years ago and we wouldn't listen

And if I’m unsure I don’t eat. W/ that being said, they are both in the wrong. New girl shldnt have lied & roommate shld have mentioned her allergies.

It is common practice for people with deathly allergic reactions to be very brunt about it when in a kitchen environment. my friend is deathly allergic to nuts and when we went to someone's house for food, he straight asked if there was any nuts used in any of the food. You and you alone are responsible for your body for anything you are about to put into it. Yes, the roommate was wrong for saying it was bacon but the person who ate it was wrong for not asking if there is any soy in the food due to them being allergic.

Anyone who presses charges or gets police involved in an easily resolvable/non-malicious case is an immediate AH. This isn't a case of food tampering. She was trying to make a good first impression and share her lifestyle with her roommate. It wasn't necessarily right for her to hide the fact that it wasn't real bacon, but the severity of the incident is so completely petty I can hardly fathom it. She didn't do it to hurt the person... she thought it was an innocent prank. If you have an allergy, it's your responsibility to take appropriate measures. Tell the cook about the allergy. If they still persist to lie, THEN you have a case. The poster is 110% in the wrong here.

NAH. roommate and US medical system are the AH. Its a legal requirement here to list the ingredients of any food (if you're selling it) and i argue that you have a moral requirement to ACCURATELY list the ingredients when feeding other people. Telling people you have allergies should not be required.

Mainegrows88 2 years ago

Yes it is and should be required!! Your argument is ridiculous... It's your responsibility it's going in your mouth, you need to inform people who make the food because an ingredient not being included isn't the same as a possible cross contamination which can still kill someone. The reason it is that way is because it would be too difficult to have everyone else take responsibility. Tell everyone every ingredient and cross contamination to everything you ever make down to sub ingredients that say "made in a facility that also makes..."? Yeah... Okay. Good luck. If it's something that can kill you it better be your priority to say something. Or maybe life isn't that important? Nobody is going to do that. Unless you make something that isn't in the name, like if nuts are added to a cookie it's a good heads up to mention btw this has nuts, but ultimately up to person eating to state allergy. I use Worcestershire a lot, soys in it so unless someone says soy allergy I'm not going to say it

What do you eat when you go to eat at a restaurant? There is "Soy" in A Lot of food products that are Not listed & do not have to be . Because you knew that you were about to eat a surprise meal from a semi surprise person who did not know you well, I can't believe you pressed charges. Just WOW. I guess sometimes you have to do what you have to do. The girl should had asked you if you were allergic to anything knowing she was about to provide what she seemingly thought was a surprise "healthier alternative choice." I would say it's a 50/50 fault. You were both wrong... Sometimes you have to think for yourself and find better solutions than listening to Any lawyer. Maybe you got some money- you healed- you both probably have PTSD from the experience. Remember before you do anything else that life comes back around Full circle and either will be bountiful or with vengeance, depending on your initial action. I hope her life will be fixed soon.

If you had a new housemate you'd brief them before they move in about allergies and other house rules in case they have a problem with them. Even if she hadn't tried to trick them into liking vegetarian food (after saying she didn't have a problem living with meat eaters), they would be sharing a kitchen, plates etc, and presumably bathrooms where she might use products with allergens. The OP's negligence was definitely a contributing factor. Of course it could have been worse, but it's a shame to ruin the other girl's life when there was no lasting damage.

If anybody that doesn't know you have severe food allergies is cooking for you, you should probably tell them about your severe food allergies regardless of any situation. The fact that she had to face a felony because you were too irresponsible to mention your food allergy is just dumb. She didn't know you are allergic. Btw, you think maybe she was "actually trying to be nice?" And maybe you were an asshole for calling the cops when you never disclosed your medical issues to her? Great job ruining someone's life.

Whenever I cook for someone else, I always assume there are allergies and ask beforehand because these days everyone seems to have dietary restrictions or allergies of some form. That being said, if you have any allergy that can kill you, and someone else cooks for you, you should probably physically look at all ingredients yourself. Especially with something as common as soy. I think they are both equally responsible.

I have a list of over 30 food allergens that effect me to varying degrees, additional items I am not "allergic" too but can't eat because of other medical issues. Trying to discuss my food issues is a complicated conversation to have with anyone! Even when I do with my biggest allergen "coffee" I get all sorts of comments from: "Oh, there's very little actual coffee in there" to "There is no such thing as a coffee allergy" or even"It's all in your head' I have had problems with my sister thinking it is funny to get tiramasu birthday cakes! My nephew supposedly joking about trying to slip coffee into my food! I had to be very clear that I did not find this funny and what my nephew was repeatedly talking about was a felony and if he ever tried it that YES I would press charges! As for allergy testing I have had both scratch testing and blood testing. The scrath testing found more environmental like dust, mold, grass, & a long list of trees I found the food allergens with the blood test.

Not so admirable when I hear a life was squandered by this unfortunate mistake. Hope you feel good about yourself?? I mean I don't know what else to say, but that's how I see it.

You absolutely ruined her life by pressing charges against her for something after YOU DID NOT TELL HER you were deathly allergic to soy. I understand suing her for medical damages, you put her on a felony charge and now she can't get any good jobs because of you. You absolute disgrace of a human being; it was your responsibility to inform these roommates of your allergies. She is completely innocent and YOU are the one who deserves to be the one strapped with a felony for ruining her life.

The OP is the asshole. She should have settled for a much less severe charge than one that would ruin the roommate's life. She also should have told the roommate that she would press felony charges if she did not pay the hospital bills - it sounds like the roommate just did not have the money at the time to pay the OP's hospital bills. It must have been possible to somehow avoid ruining her roommate's life. The roommate acted in good faith without any malicious intent; the fact that her life is ruined now suggests something seriously wrong with the OP, the legal system and her university for cancelling her scholarship. The OP's lack of sympathy and remorse for ruining this girl's life, despite the OP's condition being fine and her hospital bills being paid comes across as extremely arrogant and without any regard for anyone but herself. The OP is clearly the asshole and has some serious mental issues.

I feel like sometimes in life we just need to accept that everyone has accidents. The problem is sometimes these little accidents turn into big accidents and everyone naturally blames whoever has enough bad luck to have a horrible thing happen. This is just my personal opinion but I feel that everyone handled this badly. It was certainly a mistake to not inform the author of the actual ingredients but on most occasions this would have not had any huge negative consequences like it did in this situation. I understand that it was wrong but the fact that their life has fallen apart also feels wrong especially because they had no evil or negative intent, she thought she was doing a favor to the author. The world could fix so many of it's problems if we could all just learn to forgive.

NTA x a million. To those saying she's TA because she didn't say she didn't have an allergy. She asked, first, what's in it. She's not mandated to disclose personal medical conditions. Just her asking and expecting an honest answer was accountable enough to protect her health. Erin's responsibility after that was to be forthcoming. If someone is asking what is in a food there is usually a reason. Could be an intolerance, allergy, sensitivity. Either of those reasons are valid excuses to respectfully be given the truth. Whenever I ask this question someone always follows up with "Do you have allergies or preferences?" Whenever I'm thinking of foods and drinks to bring to someone I always ask if they have an allergy to anything. Same when I'm thinking of lighting a scented candle or anything. I never assume someone will just tell me. Plus that is a d**k move for Erin push her vegan/vegetarian values on other people like that. You vegans do you. Leave other people alone.

This is so upsetting! I think the fault lies on both parties. Why would you not immediately tell a new roommate of your deathly allergy firsthand so their is no mix up? Why would you trick someone into eating your way? Perhaps splitting the cost of the care would have been a better option than placing one person responsible for the care, when both were at fault. Just my opinion. The US healthcare system really does suck. If you aren't rich, they will let you die. I saw it firsthand with my father, and yes he died.

ESH. If you are making “surprise” food for someone, in this day and age, you’d have to be a moron not to check for allergies. If you have life threatening allergies and you are eating anything that is made of ingredients (ie not just “an apple”) and someone you’ve just met is making you food, you tell them about your allergies. I went to a fancy degustation meal, once, 18 weeks pregnant, so had some diet limitations. It was all very theatrical and creative and the food was made to look like not food. When the first course came out looking remarkably like raw egg yolk, I asked what if it was. The waiter said no but encouraged me to try things first before getting ingredients to let my senses have a bit of adventure. I chose to tell her, then, that I was pregnant and not supposed to eat certain [list of food]. Now that she understood my position we were able to properly discuss the food and I was able to make my informed choice.

If you give meat to a person you know is vegan, you're an a-hole. If you, a vegan, give faux meat to a person who eats meat, you will either get a positive reaction or negative one about the flavor - not too different from saying "hey, try this!" People who aren't vegan do that all the time. If you, as a deathly allergic person, accept all food without disclosing your allergies that could kill you, and you end up in the hospital and afterwards decide to ruin someone's life - calling you an a-hole is an understatement.

The bit that really confuses me here, with such lethal allergies she should have had at least a couple of EpiPens in the house and one in her handbag. That said the OP crucified her without remorse, posted on social media for clicks, likes, responses & money. This was posted years ago and is on quite a few sites.

I have serious food allergies, but You are NTA. I absolutely hate to tell others what I'm allergic to. Because it gives them the perfect weapon against me.

It's something that is in many foods and it's used in canning and pickling, and even in corned beef. It's difficult for people with allergies to voice them because it can be dangerous to do so. I'm just glad the best friend was there to call for help, because the cook probably wouldn't have.

Commenters are not grasping how much more soy protein is concentrated in fake meats. Like thousands of percent more concentrated. I probably have the same soy protein allergy as the LW. I have other food allergies that are more severe, such as a severe wheat allergy, so I usually concentrate on making sure stuff is gluten free and wheat free. I can tolerate small amounts of soy protein just fine, so I usually don't mention it. So no, it was not on the LW to mention it. Real meat and regular food have safe amounts of soy protein for most soy allergies, so we don't mention it. But fake meat is super concentrated, so it would make me very sick, even though I can tolerate small amounts. Vegan lied, and also should ask about allergies, since vegan food can trigger allergies that normally would not surface in regular foods. LW is NTA.

So if vegan cooked her chili or chicken or tuna instead that would be ok? So these things can be 10% or way more soy. But that wouldn't have changed the fact that OP didn't mention allergy. It's also not up to vegan to know the ingredients on everything or list ingredients on everything if someone DOESN'T make it known they have an allergy. OP needed to take responsibility and look at ingredients herself. That's what I do. I also carry an EpiPen, which can cost zero through their online program or $10 for generic. Yet she failed to prepare herself in case of emergency. So I call BS on the whole story.

NTA. I probably have the same soy protein allergy as the LW, but since I have several other food allergies, I usually don't mention my soy protein allergy. Small amounts of soy protein are fine, so I usually concentrate on telling people that I have a very severe wheat allergy and that I have to be gluten-free. So I concentrate on telling people what I am highest at risk, and since I can tolerate small amounts of soy protein without issues, I don't usually mention it. I confuse people enough with gluten. However fake vegan products are very different, they are highly concentrated soy protein, like thousands of percent concentrated soy protein, and yes that could make me very sick, like go to the hospital sick potentially, but regular amounts of soy protein I can tolerate. I assume that most of the commenters don't fully grasp how highly concentrated soy protein can be in fake meats, and how it is much worse than soy sauce. Erin lied. LW is NTA.

Sometimes people want to surprise you with new foods to show you new things etc that maybe you wouldn't try yourself. They should ask about allergies, if they don't you need to stay safe and tell them about your allergies. I don't think OP is fully an AH, she should've disclose her allergies just for safety, but if the roomate assured her it's just bacon, there were no reasons not to trust her i guess? well maybe the fact that it would be weird for vegetarians to cook with meat but it happens sometimes so why not. Also getting that roomate to pay off medical bills is sadly right thing to do, even tho it screwed her.. It's not OP's fault that she had to go to the hospital, it's partially roomate's fault as she didn't know abt the allergies, and in better country none of them would have to pay medical bills, but in America, the one that should pay is the roomate. It's just all sad that it happened and hurt someone who tried to be nice

YTA. If you came into my restaurant and asked what was in something, I likely wouldn't be able to list every single ingredient, but if you say "I have a deadly allergy to soy", you can sure as s**t bet,, I'm going to run to the kitchen and make sure of cross contamination risks and ingredients, and then tell you what you can't eat, or if you have to find somewhere else. This girl shouldn't have lied, but was trying to introduce you guys to something new... I doubt she had malicious intent or would have continued had she had this VERY important info. Additionally, if you go on a date, your date needs to know as well; I've seen numerous occasions of people going into anaphylaxis from kissing someone who ate peanut butter earlier in the day. Would you sue them too? In addition to a server you didn't tell about your allergy? Your deadly allergy is your responsibility; take some responsibility for your own actions. If she paid your medical bills, have the felony dropped.

I think there's something missing in the story and I think it's that OP already knew it wasn't real meat. I think OP intentionally did not disclose her allergies because she wanted to bait the deception out. Like the vegetarian failed to account for soy being common allergy, OP failed to realize soy is a common ingredient. Even then failed to realize I think gives her the benefit of the doubt because soy is such a common ingredient you would think she'd be asking about it even if the cook wasn't vegetarian. The vegetarian didn't tamper with the food and while food allergies are the reason why we should be mindful of disclosing what we're serving the vegetarian did what almost everyone does regularly. For example it's not uncommon for a cook to add a "secret ingredient". You as the consumer May hate vinegar but when vinegar is cooked into the proper dish it's not a problem. Cooks don't think about other people's allergies let alone their food preferences if never discussed.

I went through a similar situation when I was vegetarian. Everyone else knew and no one not even me told the new girl. I ate something she made it contained sausage. I got so ill I was throwing up blood and ended up in the hospital for a week. Blood was so low doctor gave me more and said unfortunately the fastest way to recover would be to eat more red meat! I never once blamed the girl. I ate the food I didn't say a thing. Even though new girl tried the bait and switch she MOST LIKELY never would have tried that knowing that she had food allergies period. YOU could get sick, YOU can die. So the responsibility lies with YOU!

They are BOTH at fault and both wrong! Destroying someone's life for something like this is just ludicrous. Op should have clearly stated allergies , period. With this precident, everytime you have someone "here, just try it....I'll tell you afterwords" they are liable for full scorched earth retaliation!?!? Come on. Roomie is a ass for lying, but the majority of the fault and blame goes on the self implied "victim" and yet another sue happy lawyer who's greed and lost for money supercedes any form of logical decency for fellow humans.

How many parents have tricked their kids, so they would try new things? The kids usually end up liking the food too. Intention matters. According to your logic, all these parents are criminals too

There’s fault on both sides, but it’s not 50-50. It leans more to Erin, as she set out to deceive her roommates into eating vegetarian substitutes. The OP made the mistake of not revealing her allergies prior to eating the food, but she DID ask if the bacon was regular bacon, and was told it was—-again, Erin purposely deceiving her roomies. While I believe Erin did deserve to pay her consequences, the lawyer uncle could’ve drawn up a legally binding contract, without the police and court system needing to get involved. I mean, how TF did the OP and her lawyer uncle, who should’ve known better, expect Erin to pay those bills if she had to drop out of school and try to find some kind of decent work with a felony on her record?

I feel bad for Erin. OP ruined her life. So what if she tricked you into eating vegan bacon? That act itself is pretty innocent, even if it is a lame joke and she probably could've been more aware. While I agree Erin should not have done that, consider yourself lucky if that is the evilest thing she has done. BUT do you expect her to magically know you're allergic to soy??? That is YOUR fault. She is not a mind reader ffs. I guess the moral of the story is to be careful of people like the OP, because it's easy to get screwed over and nobody will have any sympathy. ("oh I tricked my roommate into eating vegan bacon and now my life is destroyed permanently.") The OP clearly didn't give a crap about Erin, because escalating it to law enforcement over a CLEAR accident just shows you who the real perpetrator is.

I tell restaurants all the time what I’m allergic to and every single time they’re unaware that a dish or sauce has fish in it (Thai, Vietnamese in particular) usually on the form of fish sauce. If I said I was allergic to all fish and seafood, they still tell me it is free of both. It usually isn’t. They’re just unaware that some of the sauces used have fish oil or fish in them. The onus is on me. Now, if they told me that the meat in a fish was a specific meat and it turned out to be fish, they’ve lied & therefore meat the condition of having tampered with my food. That’s what happened here.

Except OP never mentioned her allergy. Many people don't tell you whats in a thing if they want someone to try it for the first time to get past previous bias (say brussel sprouts), but if you specifically tell them that's fine, just know that I'm allergic to brussel sprouts and anchovies, then it is on the person serving the food. If they think they're just asking to ask, your mind does not go immediately to 'oh, they're going to die', instead your first thought is 'if I tell them they'll spit it out and not give it a chance'

While I think that everyone was the a-hole here, I have intentionally consumed something I was allergic to to make a point. I was dining in a bar, and told the server I wanted a Long Island without Gin (I had ordered it that way there in the past). She brought our drinks, I sniffed mine, and sent it back. I said, "Look, I'm allergic to Gin. If I drink it, I will puke ALL OVER the place, and probably pass out. Just bring me a Vodka Sour instead." She left, and came back with what she said was a new Long Island without Gin. The smug look on her face told me that she was lying, but I made eye contact with her and took a sip. I puked. All. Over. The. Place. Just before I passed out, I heard her scream, "I didn't think anyone could be allergic to Gin!" She got fired. I did not sue her, or press charges against her. The local paper ran a story on the incident, and she said it ruined her reputation.

I'm Allergic to pork products and coconut products coconut oil is in many things including most brands of ice cream because I found out it's a preservative to keep things from going had something in coconut oil does that so when I shop for ANY KIND of food I must read every nook and cranny of ingredients I'm also allergic to sulfa ingredients in many antibiotics and also in shampoo/bodywash/conditioner! Mom says I'm her expensive child! And I'm gonna be 28 in a few days. I walk on eggshells when sick buying food and buying hygiene products! I say both are in the wrong! Mainly the author was in the wrong for not disclosing their allergy I always do when I go to anyone's home! As well in restaurants I ask if anything is made with my allergens and I always know when I'm being lied to because I take note of body language in people and I have an expert lying sibling in the house too that's why *sighs* but the author did have the right by law to charge the roommate as well

You withheld allergy info and probably ignored that she made her own food on the same pan. As the roommate knows nothing about the allergy.
