North Yorkshire peanut allergy trial: Jury hears evidence from prosecution
The trial of a North Yorkshire restaurant owner accused of manslaughter has continued today.
Mohammed Zaman, 52, owner of the Indian Garden, in Easingwold, North Yorkshire, is charged with the death of Paul Wilson, 38, who suffered a severe anaphylactic shock after buying a curry in January 2014.
Mr Wilson had a peanut allergy.
The jury has been told there wasn't a system in place to provide accurate information on allergens.
However they were also told that at the time of his death, a new law requiring businesses to state allergenic ingredients had not come into place.
As well as manslaughter by gross negligence, the restaurant boss is charged with perverting the course of justice by forging a food safety training certificate, an immigration offence relating to the employee who served the contaminated meal, and food safety offences.
Mohammed Zaman denies manslaughter as well as perverting the course of justice and food safety offences. The trial continues.
