A 13-year-old girl with a severe dairy allergy suffered an “immediate reaction” after a sip of a Costa Coffee hot chocolate that should have been made with soya, an inquest has heard.
Hannah Jacobs, of Barking, east London, was allergic to dairy products and had opted for “complete avoidance” since she was a toddler. She died within hours of having the takeaway drink that her mother, Abimbola Duyile, had ordered on 8 February 2022.
