Two years after teen dies from sesame seed allergy, sandwich giant still doesn't list all ingredients used in sandwiches
Sandwich giant Pret-A-Manger, whose sandwich was the cause of a 15-year-old girl dying from sesame seed allergy over two years ago, has still not fully listed all the ingredients that it uses in its sandwiches. The teen, Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, was on a British Airways flight to Nice, France, with her father Nadim and her best friend when she suddenly went into anaphylactic shock after consuming an artichoke, olive, and tapenade baguette.
The girl died in a hospital hundreds of miles from her home. An inquest that took place at the West London Coroner's Court last week slammed the sandwich company for the "inadequate" labeling on their products. Natasha's devastated family has come forward and said that the girl had been "reassured" by the lack of any specific information of the allergen on the packaging.
