The family of 12-year-old Mia Shay St Hilaire says she will never be forgotten, as an inquest into her passing has now concluded. Mia, from Sydenham, had a severe allergic reaction in August 2023 after having a milkshake while out with her aunt and sister at a cafe on Southwark Park Road in London.
The inquest at London Inner South Coroner's Court heard that Mia had a hazelnut allergy and the drink she had was made in a blender that had not been properly cleaned after a previous milkshake containing hazelnut was made.
The court found that she quickly became unwell after drinking it and later collapsed at home. Despite emergency care and being taken to intensive care at Evelina London Children's Hospital, she sadly passed away.
In a statement after the inquest, Mia's parents Adrian and Chanel thanked the coroner for her careful investigation and said they want Mia's legacy to help bring change.
They shared that families living with food allergies should be able to eat out safely, and are calling for a clear, separate allergy safety rating for food businesses similar to the food hygiene rating so people can make more informed choices.
They said no family should have to go through what they have, and they hope lessons learned can help protect others in the future.
