"I was like a hawk playing near the water. He was fine, and then he suddenly started choking.""I come from a background of being a chef, so I'm always one of those parents who cut up everything," Bwoga said.Bwoga immediately rushed to ZaZa and tried to clear his airways.A friend called an ambulance as Bwoga frantically tried to save his son."He died in my arms.
"Warning labels or a sign when purchasing grapes is a fairly simple thing," Bwoga wrote in the petition. A spokesperson for Australia New Zealand Food Standards, who oversee the code, said anyone could make an application to change the code, which it would then assess.
