A 12-year-old girl died after drinking a milkshake made in an unwashed blender at a cafe in south-east London. Mia St Hilaire had a tree nut allergy and had a severe reaction after her order was believed to contain traces of hazelnuts and almonds from a previous milkshake made in the same machine at the Pop Inn Cafe on Southwark Park Road. She was taken to hospital where she died in August 2023. The cafe has been fined £18,000 and its proprietor given 100 hours of community service after admitting six criminal charges related to the Food Safety Act.
