Question Spiked food

[Kelly]

Recently I encountered hatred at a restaraunt. I was served beef I’m sure as a prank after announcing I did not consume animals and was in need of something to eat. In addition to being a vegan, I have a life threatening condition in which when I consume mammals or their products I go into anaphylactic shock.
On this occasion I nearly lost my life.
I am trying to hold them responsible for this action and need assistance.
Does anyone know where I can get help?
Fighting them is looking like it might cost more money than is available.

Note that this question apparently applies to the US as Kelly has chosen the 'US' prefix.

I'm sure in a country as large as the US there must be organisations that work for the interests of people with food allergies. I would try get in touch with one of these in the first instance.

I think this could easily be considered intentional food poisoning....

I hope these sites can help you:

I think there may actually be a precedent of sorts:

Definitely pursue it! Restaurants need to be held accountable for their actions. So many vegans specify food allergies to avoid such contamination
