Speaking afterwards, James’s parents, Stuart and Jill, said they believed the inquest had “shone a light on much bigger issues that need urgent attention”. They said the UK had one of the biggest online food delivery markets in the world and one in four people lived with allergies. “Online food platforms have a major role in choosing who they partner with and how food is safely provided to customers by their partner providers.

This is not about competition or sales. This is about people’s lives.”
