【英国】テイクアウト料理でアレルギー死、１５歳の少女の死に料理店の責任者２人が有罪

英国ミラー紙によると、イギリス北西部の都市ランカシャーのオズワルトウィッスルで女学生ミーガン・リーさん(１５)が「ロイヤル・スパイス・テイクアウェイ」店の料理を食べて死亡した。
ナッツアレルギーを持っていたリーさんは、死ぬ二日前に友達と共に同店の料理をオンラインアプリで注文した際、アレルギー項目に「エビとナッツ」と記入したが、届いた料理を食した後にアレルギー症状を起こし死亡。のちの調べで料理には広範囲にピーナッツプロテインが混入していたことが明らかになった。

共にバングラデシュ国籍を持つ同店のオーナーのモハメッド・アブドール・クッダス(４０)とマネージャーのハルン・ラシッド(３８)は2人合わせて５年の刑を言い渡された。

Two takeaway bosses have been jailed for a combined five years for the manslaughter of a teenage girl who suffered a fatal allergic reaction to a meal.

Nut allergy sufferer Megan Lee, 15, died from an asthma attack after she ate food from the Royal Spice takeaway in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire.


Mohammed Abdul Kuddus, 40, and manager Harun Rashid, 38, were previously found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence. Rashid was jailed for three years and Kuddus to two years.

Megan and her friend ordered online via Just Eat two days before her death and wrote "prawns, nuts" in the comments and notes section near to a separate area about allergies.

But the delivered meal, which included an onion bhaji, a seekh kebab and a peshwari naan, was later found to have the "widespread presence" of peanut protein.

Takeaway owner Kuddus and manager Rashid, both Bangladeshi nationals, were found guilty by a jury last month following a two-week trial.

Kuddus received an additional eight month sentence, to run concurrently, for two food safety offences. Rashid was given 10 months in custody, also to run concurrently, for the same offences.
