A regular cooking segment on The View took a frightening turn this week when co-host Sunny Hostin experienced a severe allergic reaction live on air. The incident unfolded innocently as former co-host Debbie Matenopoulos brought samples from her cookbook, GREEK.ish, to the set.

Hostin, unaware of the danger, tasted a dish that contained walnuts, triggering her severe allergy. The situation escalated when co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked about the walnuts, leading Hostin to realize the severity of the situation.

Hostin, visibly panicked, quickly communicated the urgency of her allergy to Griffin through a written note. The on-site medical team at The View sprang into action, providing Hostin with necessary treatment and preventing a catastrophic outcome.

The incident highlighted the importance of being aware of food allergies and the need for immediate response in such emergencies. Viewers were reminded of the constant vigilance required for those with severe allergies.
