Breaking News: Wisconsin College Student, 19, Dies from Peanut Allergy After Her Friend Gave Her a Gluten-Free Brownie

Hannah Glass suffered an allergic reaction on Monday, Nov. 4, from a brownie that reportedly contained roasted peanut flour.

A friend from a women’s group on campus had given her the brownie, which contained peanut flour for gluten-free students. The Maranatha Baptist University freshman realized after a few bites that something was wrong, her father told WISN.

“We believe because this product contained roasted peanut flour, separate from oily peanut butter, that masked this.”

Glass used her EpiPen and called her parents. At that point, she “had thrown up, she had the hives, but some Benadryl had made things better,” her father added.

“After a few seconds of laying down, things changed dramatically. In hindsight, it’s at that point the right lung collapsed.”
