A woman suffered a "scary" allergic reaction mid-flight after being served a meal with nut traces - despite repeatedly telling staff about her condition, she claims. Cassie Naughton, 29, says she told several British Airways workers about her allergy.
But she was still given a couscous dish which has nut traces, she claims, leading to a reaction. Luckily Cassie, from Bicester, Oxon., was able to manage the situation with medication.
But it could have been much worse, she claims - and she wants BA staff to be better educated moving forward. Cassie said: “They have so many options available: veggie, vegan, kosher, halal, low-calorie. It's nice - but if you’re on a keto diet it’s not life-threatening.
