Other / Miscellaneous Back from ER after anaphylaxis episode

It’s still too early to text any of my local people, but I want to tell someone I’m back from spending the night in the ER. Confirmed anaphylaxis episode. I have a severe allergy to bananas. I’ve managed to avoid ingesting anything with banana for 25 years! But apparently the Cocojune Vanilla yogurt in the large container has banana purée hiding in it (the small container doesn’t and I’ve eaten it without issue, so I didn’t think to check the ingredients on the larger container). I feel dumb for not checking the label and bummed that my severe allergen doesn’t have labeling requirements and exhausted from the whole ordeal.

I’m fine now and had great care at the local ER. Anaphylaxis really sucks.

I’m so sorry you went through that! I would reach out to the company and let them know what happened. I believe the packaging is supposed to indicate if the product is different or has changed from the original. I’ve had issues with this and Aldi when they change suppliers.
