In July 2016, a fifteen-year-old girl named Natasha Ednan-Laperouse suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating an olive, artichoke, and tapenade baguette. The product contained sesame seeds, which Natasha was allergic to, and following the consumption of the food product, Natasha, unfortunately, passed away from anaphylaxis. This all ensued due to the food product not containing the appropriate allergen information, ultimately causing her death.
The incident prompted Natasha’s family to campaign for increased legislation around appropriately labelling food products to include all ingredients and potential allergens. This resulted in the introduction and implementation of Natasha’s Law.
