A girl who died after eating Pret baguette "would support parents' proposal to change the law"

The father of a teenage girl who died after having an allergic reaction to a ready-to-eat sandwich said she would support her parents in their campaign to change the law.

The family is calling for a change of law after Fulham's 15-year-old Natasha Ednan-Laperouse collapsed on a British Airways flight between London and Nice in July 2016.

She was on her way to a four-day break in France with her father and best friend when she bought a baguette of artichokes, olives and tapenade through Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport.

Nadim Ednan-Laperouse, 53, said on BBC Radio 4's Today: "At the funeral of Natasha, in front of 500 people, I promised justice for his death, justice for the future. no one else should suffer such a useless and useless death.

"And that's what we're trying to do today as a family. We are really trying to save other people, other families in the UK, I think, from that kind of thing that's happening to them. "

He added: "We are campaigning now and taking our voices if you want to raise public awareness of this problem, which is actually extremely emotional for families. Many Britons have allergic children and we feel that we say will resonate deeply with them. "

When asked what he thought Natasha would do with their campaign, he replied, "Well, Natasha was a very energetic, energetic girl who has always defended the underdogs … She is famous for that.

"And if anyone was chosen to school, she would always stand by their side to help or assert that what they were going through was unfair, and therefore, having that in mind. As a father, I answer you that she would be in paradise, looking down and saying, "Yes, yes to daddy, yes to mom, please pass these changes." It's so important that others do not die and do not have terrible wounds putting their lives in danger because of something so simple, so simple. "

Pret boss Clive Schlee said the food chain was "deeply sorry" for his death after Coroner Sean Cummings made a finding at the West London Coroner's Court on Friday.

Mr. Schlee said that Pret wanted a "significant change" to come from the tragedy.

Commenting on what Pret's boss said, Natasha's mother, 51-year-old Tanya Ednan-Laperouse, told the Today program, "My reaction is that things have to start changing now.

"Tomorrow, for me, not soon enough. It is not necessary to change the law to act properly.

"And it's not difficult for a company that produces millions of sandwiches and chopsticks to put a procedure in place to accurately label all of their products."

Ms. Ednan-Laperouse said that she hoped that the entire food industry was listening, adding, "The law needs to be changed, society needs to know that people who live are poisoned by these foods." "

Good Morning Britain, ITV, said, "If you met Natasha, you would remember. She had a sense of crazy humor. She was 15 years old, she loved life, she loved boys, she loved her friends, she was a very good sister, a very very good sister.

"She was just … she was trying anything. She was in an ultralight when she was 10, she took the wheel, she wanted to be a pilot. It's so ironic. She has big dreams. "
