Posters have been put up at the BBC's new £1bn headquarters warning staff to stop eating bananas after a colleague warned the fruit could killer her.


The posters feature a picture of the fruit with a cross scrawled over it, with the directive telling staff not to peel or eat it anywhere near the colleague, according to The Sun.

A spokesman for the BBC said: 'The posters placed in specific areas of the newsroom have been put up by staff out of courtesy for a fellow colleague who has a strong medical sensitivity to bananas which can lead to severe symptoms.'





Banana allergies take two forms. The first is a reaction to tree pollen where victims experience itching and swelling in the mouth.



With the more serious version people can suffer an anaphylactic reaction — a life-threatening condition in which a victim’s airways swell and constrict.

A BBC source told the paper: 'Some people think the poster is a bit of a laugh, but there are serious consequences.'
