In a tragic incident, a 15-year-old girl died on board British Airways fight after she suffered a severe allergic reaction to a sandwich she bought at London airport terminal.
According to Daily Mail report, Natasha Ednan-Laperouse's heartbroken father, Nadim, a millionaire owner of Wow Toys in London, said he tried to save her by administering two shots of EpiPens on board the flight from London to Nice. However, she died later due to cardiac arrest.
"As a family now of three, my wife, son and I are still trying to adjust to life without our beloved girl. It's a daily battle and the pain is indescribable," Nadim was quoted by Observer as saying.
Natasha bought an artichoke, olive and tapenade baguette from Pret a Manger at Heathrow Terminal 5 which consisted sesame seeds apparently baked into the bread. She was careful to check the food she bought for allergens, but on this occasion she missed to notice the sesame seeds and only realised something was wrong when red welts started to appear on her skin.
Despite the first shot of EpiPen her father gave, Natasha began to hyperventilate and was given another unsuccessful dose before going into cardiac arrest and dying at a Nice hospital. An inquest will hear evidence from the family, manager of the Pret, head of safety at the UK-based food chain and British Airways staff.
Nadim added, "Everything we say and do is a reminder that she isn't with us; her empty bedroom, school uniform hanging in her wardrobe, her holiday bag packed for her holiday in Nice has never been unpacked."
Sesame is one of 14 allergens that EY laws say must be listed in pre-packaged food made off premises. However, the incident draws attention to companies including Pret which do not have to list the information on food prepared on the same day in an on-site kitchen.
While a spokesman for Pret said: 'We were deeply saddened to hear about Natasha's tragic death, and our heartfelt thoughts are with her family and friends. We take food allergies and how allergen information is provided to our customers extremely seriously. We will continue to do all that we can to assist the Coroner's inquest."
