I would've put some of my own "organic" nut sauce in it.... 
The OP describes himself as picky but fell in love with a peanut sauce the main chef prepares at the restaurant. So, he went ahead and learned the recipe.
He says that the dish smells and tastes nutty.
So, this guy’s lunches have been disappearing. It started slow when he would open his lunchbox only to find half of his food missing. He had been addressing the issue of lunch thieves in the office, but the situation didn’t change.
He was wrong; it was just the beginning of chaos.
And as the puzzle keeps unfolding, it turns out the food thief was the boss’s daughter.
So, a few days after the incident, the OP is confronted by the boss for apparently poisoning his noodles because his daughter was hospitalized after “borrowing” the noodles from him.
She got hospitalized, but that is not even the most surprising part. Shockingly, the boss wants the OP to take responsibility for the condition by footing the bills for “poisoning” his daughter.
The good thing is that his restaurant-owner friend has offered him a full-time job.
Should he quit, or should he fight for his place in the company?
I cannot agree with this comment enough. It wouldn’t make sense for the OP to try and fight the masses on his own; it may make everything worse. He should let HR fight such battles.
I also agree with the Redditor who said,” As someone with medical dietary requirements, I don’t understand her. I mean, I don’t understand stealing food in the first place, but how is she willingly eating food without knowing what is in it, yet she knows she is Anaphylactic?”

What Redditors Had To Say
One of the comments said: “NTA -Go to HR immediately and make them aware of what is going on. You did nothing wrong, and your boss’s behavior is 100% inappropriate.”I cannot agree with this comment enough. It wouldn’t make sense for the OP to try and fight the masses on his own; it may make everything worse. He should let HR fight such battles.
Record the Events
Another Redditor reminded the OP to immediately go to HR and record the events of the entire ordeal. He even advised him to contact an employment attorney. This commenter also reminded him that fighting established coworkers and the boss can be a losing game. The OP was told that HR might help him, but he should remember that HR works for the company, not him.I also agree with the Redditor who said,” As someone with medical dietary requirements, I don’t understand her.
