Film studio sorry for allergy scene

MOVIE studio Sony Pictures apologised yesterday for a scene in its Peter Rabbit children’s film after an online outcry from sufferers of food allergies.

The scene in question portrays rabbit archenemy Mr McGregor, who is allergic to blackberries, being pelted with the berries by a gang of bunnies. He then has an allergic reaction.

Sony Pictures said in a statement: ‘Food allergies are a serious issue... We sincerely regret not being more aware and sensitive to this issue, and we truly apologise.’
