Ok well even if somehow this particular Panera was devoid of any information about the lemonade, which let’s be honest that is going to be hard enough to prove since the person who was there that day is dead
Sure. I bet there are witnesses who would say one way or the other, but you're mostly right.
That doesn’t negate the fact that if you have some kind of health problem associated with certain foods, in this case caffeine, then you should be checking every ingredient of anything you eat especially from a restaurant
In fairness, that's not realistic. If I order a lobster and it has lobster in it, that's on me. If I order french fries and they secretly infuse it with lobster without advertising it, then it's on me.
The argument many people are making is that Lemonade "doesn't have caffeine in it". And she wasn't restricted and unable to consume caffeine, she was restricted from large quantities (enough that some folks aren't sure she even died from the drink, but that's another discussion). Expecting a random beverage to have coffee-level caffeine with NO notice is definitely unreasonable.
If you are buying a product called “charged lemonade” you shouldn’t just expect its going to be standard fare when you had no hand in making the product
As many have said, "charged" is often used to refer to electrolytes. I mean, look at this.. The word "charged "alone really is not enough, just like the word "house special" added before fries doesn't mean I should expect there might be lobster in them.
Literally anyone with a food allergy deals with this shit on a daily basis, and the only time the restaurant should be to blame is if you specifically asked if said ingredient was in the food and they lie or forget to omit it from the dish.
Except still happens, and if I did my due diligence, the restaurant is usually responsible. That's why they have nutritional-content menus and a well-trained restaurant worker takes you VERY seriously if you mention a food allergy. The issue is that sometimes it shouldn't be on you to mention food allergies. I like lobster allergies as an example. Should I immediately say "I have a lobster allergy" when I walk into an Ice Cream Parlor? Is it my fault if I have an allergic reaction to lobster when I order the Chocolate Chunky Monkey?
