Allergens clearly labelled on all food
Allergens clearly labelled on all food
The Issue
Following the death of a 15 year old due to eating a sandwich from Pret a Manger that was filled with hidden sesame seeds. There was no labelling to indicate this and she was highly allergic. Why has Pret still not attached labels to individual items for sale to indicate whether or not the product contains any of the 14 allergens that they know can kill a person? As the food industry are clearly not changing this voluntarily, because it is the right thing to do, I am calling on a law to be made stating that labels must be on all products containing these allergens. I have an 18 year old nephew who carries an epipen due to an extreme peanut allergy. I cannot allow this to happen to him or any other child/young person.
