Family of victim from the Byron Burger allergy death incident demands policy change
They said that simply communicating the food allergy is not enough.
The family of the teenager who died of an allergic reaction upon eating at burger chain Byron is now demanding for a policy change, according to a report by BBC.
The sister of the 18-year old victim Owen Carey stated that relying on "verbal communication between the customer and their server" is not enough and is hoping for allergy labelling policy to be strengthened in restaurants.
Carey had ordered a grilled chicken containing buttermilk at the burger chain, where he is said to have informed the the staff about his food allergy upon ordering.
Prior to this, Pret A Manger also made the headlines last year as it was revealed that a teenager died after eating one of their baguettes that have allergens.
