Natasha Ednan-Laperouse died in a nice hospital after she collapsed during a BA flight

A girl suffering from a severe sesame allergy died after eating a baguette ready to eat from the airport, which did not list the ingredients.

Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, 15, collapsed on a flight between Heathrow and Nice on 17 July.

Although her father administered two EpiPen injections, Natasha, of Fulham, London, died within a few hours.

Ready to eat said that he was "deeply saddened" by death.

Natasha's father, Nadim Ednan-Laperouse, said in a statement: "It's a daily struggle and the pain is indescribable".

Mr. Ednan-Laperouse, founder of Wow Toys, said, "As a family now three years old, my wife, my son and I are still trying to adapt to life without our beloved daughter.

"All we say and do is a reminder that she's not with us – her empty room, her school uniform hanging in her wardrobe, her holiday bag packed for her holidays in Nice." Has never been unpacked.

A Pret spokesman said: "We were deeply saddened to learn of Natasha's tragic death and our most sincere thoughts go to her family and friends."

Natasha had eaten a baguette just before taking the plane to Nice

Natasha has eaten an artichoke, olives and tapenade baguette purchased from the Heathrow Airport Terminal 5's Pret a Manger main store, family lawyers Leigh Day said.

Sesame is believed to have been cooked in the baguette rather than contained in the seeds on its crust, said Pret.

The teenager collapsed on the British Airways flight and died later at the Nice Hospital.

Ready To Eat has confirmed that its products are not labeled individually with information on allergens or ingredients.

Instead, signs on the shelves and at points of sale tell customers to talk to a trained manager to provide advice on allergens, the company said.

Information is also available in the company's Allergen Guide, available in stores and online.

A Pret spokesman said, "We take food allergies very seriously and how allergen information is provided to our customers.

"We will continue to do everything we can to help the coroner's inquest."

The hearing is scheduled to start on Monday.
