[The food chain said the 42-year-old dental nurse
died after eating a "super-veg rainbow flatbread" containing a yoghurt that was supposed to be dairy-free, but was found to be contaminated with dairy. Mrs Marsh, who had children, died at the Royal United Hospital in Bath on 27 December, 2017.] https://news.sky.com/story/pret-a-ma...marsh-11521171 [CoYo has denied this was related to Mrs Marsh's death, saying the contaminated raw materials had been supplied to it in January - after she died.] Pret A Manger have now confirmed all foods will now have labels on them. |

Another tragic case, I think having a food allergy must be one of the worst things to have as it impacts to much of your life and you are placing so much of your trust on others for your safety.

Also, a very important point that is completely under reported. There are pills you can take to reduce or remove your susceptibility to allergic reaction. No one with a food allergy should leave home without them. |

If I had an allergy , I'd be double even tripple checking food constantly to make sure it's ok ,as you can never be too safe . I'd be wary of every food store . This food chain should address what went wrong! and avoid this same horrible mistake from happening again. I don't think people will trust them again . When people's lives are at risk you don't mess about . Last edited by GoldHeart; 08-10-2018 at 01:54 PM. |

I have seen dairy free yoghurts for vegans, maybe they shouldn't be labelled yoghurt though

Up until the point of the last court case against Pret, if a business makes food on the premises then they were not required by the law to list ingredients at all. By doing any food labelling they were going above and beyond, so I think the criticism of them is a little bit unfounded. The reason the law remained like that is to help small operations, sandwich shops, tea rooms, cafes, who may not have the finance or the staff to label food made on the premises. Reforms are being put in place now, slamming the stable door after the horse has bolted.
It must be terrible to have a food allergy, being aware that eating anything you're not 100% sure of couldn't just make you sick, but could actually kill you. So I'm really surprised that people with such serious allergies would put their trust - and their life - in the hands of a sandwich shop. I'd be inclined only to use places I was sure of, or take food with me. That's not to say that I'm not sympathetic to the people who've died, what a terrifying way to go. |

Just thought I'd comment before the rumours start about me poisoning the Mrs.
