Almost killed by a cupcake
I was severely shaken and my confidence was knocked. I didn't eat out again for ages. You have to go to places you know you're safe and I now triple check everything.
Siobhan Gosrani joins us today along with her lawyer Tracey Benson, from the firm Slater and Gordon, to talk about the severity of a nut allergy reaction she suffered after eating a cupcake with cream made from cashew nuts.
The lemon treat was presented in her local cafe along with other varieties of cupcakes that were labelled specifically as containing walnuts.
Siobhan says she thought she was safe as there was no warning like on the other cakes but the cafe says she should have declared her allergy beforehand.
The law says you have to make the customer aware that your food contains an allergen.
The incident forced Siobhan to take three weeks off work and she joined us today to reveal how it knocked her confidence.
She said: "I'd go into the supermarket and triple check chicken to make sure no nuts were in it, when I knew there wouldn't be any."
