Under fire Pret A Manger to open biggest Bristol cafe

By Martin Booth  Monday Oct 8, 2018

A former Chinese restaurant on Baldwin Street is being turned into Bristol’s biggest Pret a Manger, as a second customer who is believed to have died after an allergic reaction to a Pret a Manger product has been named.

Celia Marsh, 42, a dental nurse from Melksham in Wiltshire, died after eating a “super-veg rainbow flatbread” bought from the Pret on Stall Street in Bath which contained a yoghurt that was supposed to be dairy-free but was found to be contaminated with dairy.

News of her death followed the inquest of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, 15, who died following a severe allergic reaction after eating a Pret baguette bought at  Terminal 5 at Heathrow airport which did not list the ingredients.
