An inmate at the Moberly Correctional Center of Missouri filed a complaint in federal court alleging he suffered multiple anaphylactic episodes due to the prison food services failing to adequately address his dietary restrictions.
In documents filed with the US Eastern District Court of Missouri, inmate Adrian D Kinder claimed he informed prison authorities multiple times of his severe allergy to eggs, but on five occasions between May 2015 and May 2017 his meal triggered a reaction. Kinder states that on each occasion he suffered anaphylaxis where his tongue and throat swelled to the extent where his breathing was obstructed. During each episode, a medical emergency was declared and he was treated with antihistamines.
Hearing dates in the case are pending. Kinder was convicted of second-degree murder, arson and armed criminal action in June 2004 in St. Louis County and is currently serving a 25-year sentence.
