The parents of a teenager who died after suffering an allergic reaction to a Pret sandwich that was not labelled precisely enough want repeat offenders named and shamed. Tanya and Nadim Ednan-Laperouse have spoken out after it emerged a council is not publicly naming outlets who have broken Natasha’s Law.
The “life-saving” legislation is named after Tanya and Nadim’s daughter, Natasha, who died at the age of 15 after she had a fatal reaction from eating a baguette. The teenager purchased the pre-packed item from a Pret A Manger store at Heathrow in July 2016, unaware it contained sesame seeds.
Natasha had several cardiac arrests during a flight to France and died later at a French hospital. The new law came into force in 2021 to protect people with food allergies who rely on the transparency of ingredients and food labelling for prepacked foods, Derbyshire Live reports.
