THE mother of a teenage girl who died after having a severe reaction to a Costa hot chocolate has said allergen safety training should not be treated as a "tick-box exercise".
Hannah Jacobs, 13, who was allergic to dairy products, died within hours of taking one sip of the drink on February 8, 2023, East London Coroner's Court was told.
