A mum who had a severe dairy allergy died shortly after eating a Pret a Manger vegan wrap, an inquest has heard.
Celia Marsh, 42, a dental nurse from Melksham, Wiltshire, died on December 27, 2017, after eating a super-veg rainbow flatbread from the chain's store in Bath, Somerset. The coconut yoghurt used as dressing from Australian brand CoYo, which was licensed for manufacture in the UK to British firm Planet Coconut, is thought to have had traces of milk in it.
An inquest at Avon Coroner's Court in Bristol heard the mother-of-five "religiously avoided" dairy products following a near-fatal allergic reaction a few months earlier after which she needed 15 shots of adrenaline. Mrs Marsh had been on a post-Christmas shopping trip with her husband and three of her daughters when she went into Pret at around 2pm. She was declared dead less than two hours later.
