RESTAURANTS listed on food app JustEat are still giving dangerous advice to people with potentially lethal food allergies.

Two takeaway bosses were jailed last year when Megan Lee, 15, died after eating a kebab ordered via JustEast in Lancashire. She had said it must be free of peanuts.

Mohammed Abdul Kuddus and Harun Rashid were found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence.

She ordered the meal on JustEat from their Royal Spice Takeaway in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, in December 2016, stating that it must be free from peanuts and prawns.

Now a BBC Panorama probe has caught employees at restaurants on the app saying dishes were safe when they were not.

Food businesses are legally required to provide information about 14 common allergens - including nuts, dairy, gluten or wheat - all of which can be life threatening.

But JustEat - the UK’s largest food delivery app - doesn’t currently ask restaurants to provide this information on its site.

Instead customers with allergies are expected to contact the restaurant directly.

JustEat told BBC Panorama it was “concerned to learn about the individual restaurants not providing accurate information.”

“We launched an immediate investigation and have already offered further support and training”, it said.

The investigation also revealed JustEat to be listing over 100 takeaways with zero hygiene ratings - some even being given the Local Legends label.

Restaurants named Local Legends are described as the “crème de la crème” of takeaways in a particular area - Just Eat say only restaurants with the highest hygiene ratings can be given this title.

Shirley Cramer CBE, Chief Executive of the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH), said: “The food hygiene rating system is vastly important for us understanding how good a restaurant is.”

Just Eat said any restaurant with a poor FSA hygiene rating should not have received the Local Legends accolade and that it was investigating to ensure the mistake didn’t happen again.
