He started to experience symptoms after leaving the restaurant before later collapsing outside the London Eye.An inquest at Southwark Coroner’s Court heard on Thursday that Mr Carey, of Crowborough in East Sussex, had ordered a skinny grilled chicken burger with no sauce from the restaurant.But the inquest heard the menu did not show the item contained buttermilk.

Coroner Briony Ballard asked why allergy information had been in the ‘fine print’ on the back of the restaurant’s menu from 2017.Ms Bradley also suggested the information was ‘difficult to read’, stating it was in ‘black print’ against a blue background. She said since the incident, and following research showing one in 10 people aged 16 to 24 hides their allergies, staff now ask customers directly if they have any allergies or dietary requirements.Ms Leitner-Hopps said all staff at the time received online allergen training, which required them to tick different sections, along with onsite training.She said: ‘It was apparent to me training available to the teams was sufficient.
