The parents of a 23-year-old man who died after eating a takeaway chicken tikka masala pizza have called for a meeting with the bosses of the UK’s big three delivery apps to discuss how things can be improved for food allergy sufferers.
James Atkinson, who had a known peanut allergy, died in July 2020 after eating less than a slice of the pizza ordered from a restaurant in Newcastle via the Deliveroo app. Unknown to him, the ingredients included a powder that was 99% peanuts.
