'Our Daughter Died After Eating a Pret Baguette - She Would Be Proud of Law Change Impact'
Following Natasha’s death from an unlabelled allergen, UK law now requires full ingredient lists on foods made for direct sale, protecting millions with allergies.
- On October 1 the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation named October 1 `Natasha’s Day` and Tanya and Nadim Ednan-Laperouse said Natasha would be `very proud` of the law's life-saving effect.
- Natasha, 15, died after a Pret A Manger baguette contained sesame not listed on packaging and with seeds invisible to the naked eye.
- Jayden Poole, 17, and Kitty Clark, 21, say printed ingredients on packaged food gave them confidence and made eating out safer and easier.
- The law requires food outlets that make and package items on the premises to provide full ingredient lists and allergy labelling, and Tanya and Nadim Ednan-Laperouse said the change is improving safety.
- In everyday settings, increased awareness means people living with food allergies report more freedom, as cafés and servers embrace packaged food labelling and reduce the need for packed lunches.
