据美国食品安全新闻网消息,4月14日美国公共廉政中心(CPI)发布调查报告指出,羽扇豆会导致过敏反应,然而食品标签缺少警告标识。
报道称,由于花生属于美国规定的必须强制标注的致敏原,因此食品企业使用羽扇豆作为花生的替代品。
然而根据相关规定,羽扇豆属于“一般认为安全”的物质,无需强制标注在过敏原标签中。
部分原文报道如下:
The Center for Public Integrity (CPI) published a lengthy investigative report on Tuesday summarizing the safety concerns associated with GRAS (generally recognized as safe) food additives, the controversies surrounding how they're determined, and barriers to regulating them.
The report's key illustration of the concerns about GRAS was a peanut-related legume called lupin - sometimes spelled “lupine” - which is relatively new to the U.S. market and frequently used in gluten-free products.
