Nursery World understands that in 2014 a Prevent Future Deaths (PFD) report on raw jelly was completed by the coroner in charge of the inquest into the death in 2012 of Tiya, who choked on a jelly cube.
The inquest jury returned a verdict of accidental death ‘contributed to by neglect’, after Dicky Birds failed to supervise Tiya for up to 75 seconds during sensory play.
Westminster coroner Dr Fiona Wilcox is understood to have raised a number of concerns in the PFD, including a lack of any warning on jelly packaging.
It is understood to have been sent to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), Ofsted and the Local Government Association (LGA), but some early years organisations are unaware of it.
