Months long food mess up.

I feel so devastated. I live in New York City. There’s a place here called Holy cow. They have a whole vegan menu. I love their vegan turkey sandwich with vegan bacon (which cost an additional 3.50) it’s specifically labeled as vegan bacon. Today, I was doing some online grocery shopping and came across morning star plant based bacon. And I noticed it looks like the bacon off of my sandwich. I looked through the ingredients and saw “low fat milk”. I felt my heart sink.I called the restaurant and they confirmed that the bacon they used is morning star. I ate that sandwich every day for a week cause it was cheap and I’m on my period. I’ve also consumed it several times in the past two months. I hate life right now. I’ve been crying for about an hour. To be honest I blame myself cause I noticed I’d been having a lot more stomach problems so I should’ve known something was up. Update: apparently morning star bacon contains egg whites too. The fact that I’ve been paying an additional 3.50 for something labeled vegan (not plant based, vegan) that has both egg whites and milk is jarring to say the least. The restaurant was called and a review was left. I’ve learned my lesson. I will only be dining at fully vegan restaurants from now on. UPDATE 2: I checked on DoorDash. Looks like they changed the labeling to plant based bacon. I still find that labeling off (for lack of a better term) since it contains milk and eggs. But since morning star themselves label it as such, there’s not much I can do. I do have screenshot proof of it being labeled as vegan, But I don’t think I’ll pursue legal action. They seemed pretty apologetic and I made sure to leave a review. FINAL UPDATE: I called 311 and spoke to the department of health. This is an allergy concern and honestly could result in someone’s death. I filed a report and all of their New York City restaurants should be inspected.
