Tanya and Nadim Ednan-Laperouse, founders of the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, will deliver a masterclass titled ‘The future of food allergy safety’. This powerful and essential masterclass explores the impact of Natasha’s Law and the future of food allergy safety across the sector.
Following the tragic loss of their daughter Natasha, Tanya and Nadim Laperouse helped drive one of the most significant changes in UK food safety legislation. In their masterclass, they will share their story, sector insight and the ongoing work to improve allergen awareness, consistency and food safety standards.
