Ex took D2 to McDonalds on Saturday and fed her chicken nuggets.
Issue- D2 is severely anaphylactic to dairy.
All you have to do is google "Chicken McNuggets ingredients"- and you get a warning that they fry the nuggets in the same fryer as the buttermilk chicken patty. I reminded Ex that D2 anaphylaxed to baked buttermilk powder last year. I also reminded him of D2's allergist recommended protocols that say she shouldn't be eating products that say "may contain dairy" or "produced in a facility that contains dairy/milk".
Also- you'd have to be blind to not see the notices posted all around McDonalds saying they can't control the risk of cross contamination. Not to mention the potential for dairy on all surfaces of that place- D2 is contact allergic as well and gets crazy hives and swelling if she touches a surface that has/had dairy on it.
He got defensive and said she's eaten nuggets there before and not had any issue. And he had her Epi pen with him. But that's like playing Russian roulette with D2. Also- Epi doesn't always work to stop a reaction.
I didn't go postal and suggested we discuss this with our co-parent therapist. I sent him an OFW message outlining the allergy protocol recommended by D2's allergist and said he should give her a call and speak to her about this.
But I don't know that I can do anything else. His visits are already supervised- though his sister has some questionable judgment as well to have gone along with this. Again- all you have to do is google the ingredients to see the warning of the risk of cross contamination.
D2 didn't know what McDonald's was because I don't take her to restaurants (well- I used to go to Swiss Chalet because their fries used to be safe. they're not anymore. stupid garlic parmesan fries). I didn't want her to want to go there because I didn't want her to know what she was missing.
If I make a big deal of this- he'll likely lie about this stuff. But now I'm terrified about his judgment on this type of thing.
