A Queensland "dairy-free" ice cream and yoghurt company was told its product wasn't suitable to be marketed as "dairy-free" years prior to the anaphylaxis death of a woman in the UK, court documents allege.
The wrap contained what was supposed to be a "dairy-free" coconut yoghurt manufactured by Planet Coconut, but later tests revealed it contained milk protein.Last year, Planet Coconut launched a civil lawsuit in the Queensland Supreme Court, stating it lost millions of dollars in revenue as a result of the death of Ms Marsh. The company is now suing COYO for up to $10 million.
COYO claims it was made aware in the PIF that "at most, the stabiliser might contain protein from milk powder in a concentration of something less than ten parts per million".
In a statement, COYO said the allegations were "groundless," and "will be responded to in the reply, which is to be filed in due course."
