This is messed up. Messing with allergen info can kill people.

This was my first thought too. Interestingly that death occurred October 2023, while this particular fired employee is accused of accessing Disney's menu systems around June-September 2024.

Almost like this ex-employee saw the news earlier and was then inspired to try to murder someone with bad allergen info.
