On 12 January we published a report of the evidence given by a police officer at the inquest into the death of Shahida Shahid from an allergic reaction after eating a burger at the Almost Famous restaurant in Manchester.

Unfortunately our report was wrong, which we acknowledged by way of an agreed correction in the next day’s print edition of the MEN. Our article stated the officer had told the Coroner that Liam Tse (the then head chef at Almost Famous), had wrongly advised the barman who took her order that she could have the burger, and Mr Tse then failed to monitor the order because the restaurant was really busy.

Mr Tse was not responsible for fulfilling the food order but had marked the correct allergies on the order and it was another member of staff who said a 'terrible mistake' had been made. We regret the inaccuracies in the article which were the result of a reporting mistake at the inquest and we apologise to Mr Tse for any damage and distress caused to him. "
