New pea bulking agent, beware if pea allergic
If allergic to pea's you may wish to be made aware of a product designed as a 'bulking' ingredient, possibly at levels where it won't easily be tasted. Although it should be labelled as 'pea protein' or similar on the packet and in the 'contains' box, this may not be the case. Like lupin, it could be a beige flour which goes unrecognised by many and unlike lupin, the law won't require it to be identified as a major allergen.
