Outside court, Wilson’s parents Keith and Margaret urged more catering staff to be trained about allergens. In a legal first, Mohammed Zaman, 53, was convicted of manslaughter after 38-year-old Paul Wilson suffered a fatal allergic reaction to the peanuts. Although she had been told the dish did not contain peanuts, she suffered an allergic reaction and had to be injected with adrenaline. Food businesses have been warned to take allergies seriously after a restaurateur was imprisoned for six years for killing a customer by selling him a curry containing peanuts. On the day after Wilson suffered the fatal anaphylactic shock, another trading standards investigator found Zaman’s restaurant was still claiming it served “nut-free” curries.
