The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, the UK’s food allergy charity, was launched in June 2019 by Nadim and Tanya Ednan-Laperouse after their daughter Natasha died aged 15 from a severe allergic reaction to sesame.

Through campaigning, education and research, the charity’s mission is to #MakeAllergyHistory, in particular food allergy, and improve the lives of the millions of people in the UK living with food allergies.

Following a successful campaign by Nadim and Tanya Ednan-Laperouse, Natasha’s Law came into force across the UK on 1 October 2021. This law requires all food retailers to display full ingredient and allergen labelling on every food item made on the premises and pre-packed for direct sale.

Natasha’s Foundation is the only allergy charity dedicated to medical research. The charity wants to understand what is causing the dramatic rise in allergic disease - and develop ways to prevent, treat and ultimately eradicate it. 

Starting with food allergy, they want to create a world that is safe for everyone.
