A SCHOOLGIRL with a severe dairy allergy suffered an immediate reaction after just one sip of a Costa Coffee hot chocolate that was meant to be made with soya milk.

An inquest heard 13-year-old Hannah Jacobs had been allergic to dairy products, along with fish and eggs, since she was a toddler.

She died within hours of taking the drink on February 8, 2022, East London coroner's court was told.

Her mum, Abimbola Duyile, had ordered two takeaway soya hot chocolates before taking Hannah to a dental appointment.

Ms Duyile said she told the coffee chain's staff that Hannah had an allergy and they needed to clean the equipment when making her drink.
