A MUM has accused the food industry of treating allergen safety training as a “tick-box exercise” after a Costa hot chocolate killed her daughter.An inquest yesterday concluded staff procedure was not followed and there had been a failure of communication.
Mum Abimbola Duyile said she ordered two soya hot chocolates, told staff of Hannah’s allergies and asked them to wash the jug used to make the drinks. But a post-mortem found Hannah died after an ingredient in her drink triggered a severe allergic response.Inside if it is illegal to accept a food delivery that isn't for you
