Natasha’s Law is named after Natasha Ednan-Laperouse who at the age of 15 passed away due to a severe allergic reaction. Natasha had a serious sesame allergy and was not aware that sesame seeds had been baked into the bread of a sandwich she had bought. The fact that the packaging did not display any allergen information led Natasha to believe that the food was safe for her to eat.

Increased transparency of UK food allergenic labelling, Natasha’s Law comes into force from October 2021.
