Abstract: LONDON -- Two years ago Natasha Ednan-Laperouse suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating a Pret a Manger sandwich that her family says did not list one critical ingredient: sesame. Natasha, 15, was allergic to sesame. This week, the West London Coroner's Court will hear from her family, British Airways and Pret a Manger. There are two central questions: Was the allergen information listed correctly? And who is to blame for Natasha's death?
