THE heartbroken parents of nut allergy teen Megan Lee have called on food businesses to learn lessons from their daughter's tragic death - after two takeaway workers were found guilty of her manslaughter.

Megan's parents Adam and Gemma Lee warned irresponsible restaurant bosses 'not to play Russian roulette' with people's lives.

Speaking outside court Mr Lee said: "While we may have received some justice with today's verdicts, we live in hope that today's result is a warning to other food businesses operating in such a deplorable and ignorant manner to learn from this and improve their standards with immediate effect.

"We urge all food businesses to improve their standards in food safety and take allergies seriously.

"Do not guess, do not play ignorant, do not play Russian roulette with precious lives."

The couple added: "Our lives will never be the same. The loss of our beautiful daughter has completely devastated us.

"Megan's positive presence and infectious smile will forever be missed.

"It breaks our hearts that Megan didn't get the chance to sit her GCSE exams, something she had worked so incredibly hard for, to celebrate her 16th birthday or go to the school prom with her friends.

"Megan didn't get the opportunity to fulfil her ambition of working in musical theatre, to explore the world, fall in love or have children of her own.

"It's these thoughts that cause great sadness, because nobody deserved it more than Megan."

Mr Lee said: "Megan's legacy is to be kind, considerate, to be helpful to others.

"We will continue to work with the Anaphylaxis Campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of allergies."
