A visit to the sweetest destination in the Midlands turned bitterly sour for one woman, who was rushed to hospital after suffering a severe allergic reaction during her trip to Cadbury World in Birmingham.
The unnamed visitor was left fighting for breath after an apparent anaphylactic shock, believed to have been triggered by an ingredient used in the famous chocolate-making experience. The terrifying incident unfolded within the attraction, forcing staff to enact emergency procedures.

According to reports, the situation became so critical that a crash team was called to the Bournville-based venue. The woman was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital via ambulance for urgent medical treatment. The specific allergen responsible for the reaction has not been publicly disclosed, leaving a cloud of uncertainty over the incident.
Cadbury World's Statement
A spokesperson for the beloved attraction confirmed the medical emergency, stating: "We can confirm that a guest suffered a medical incident at Cadbury World and was treated by our first aid team before being taken to hospital. The health and safety of our guests and staff is our highest priority."
While the company emphasised its commitment to safety, the event has sparked conversations online about the challenges of managing severe allergies in environments where food ingredients are ubiquitous. Many are calling for greater transparency regarding potential allergens throughout the visitor experience.
The incident serves as a stark reminder that even the most magical days out can carry hidden risks for those with serious food allergies, and highlights the importance of clear communication between attractions and visitors about ingredient safety.
