My sister would still be alive if the food industry took allergy labels seriously enough | Gareth Gower

People like Celia shouldn't have to gamble with their lives. We need more rigorous checks and tests on free from" products

The last time I saw my big sister Celia was at our leaving party in July 2017. My family was uprooting from the UK to Melbourne, Australia. She was full of life and looking forward to visiting us in our new home. But on 27 December that year, Celia went on a shopping trip in Bath and died of anaphylaxis after eating a contaminated vegan rainbow vegetable wrap bought from Pret a Manger that was labelled as dairy-free.

Celia was highly allergic to dairy and scrupulously avoided it in her diet. Last week, more than four and a half years later, the coroner at her inquest ruled that Celia's death was from anaphylaxis caused by the milk protein found in the contaminated dairy-free yoghurt used in the wrap that she consumed that day.
