Pea protein, common in UK processed foods, is linked to rising severe allergies, prompting health warnings and calls for better labeling.
Pea protein, increasingly used in UK processed foods like crisps, bread, meat alternatives, and protein shakes, is raising health concerns due to a rise in severe allergic reactions, including life-threatening cases.
Allergy UK reports growing numbers of pea allergies, particularly among those with existing food sensitivities, though the exact cause remains under study.
Experts urge consumers to read labels carefully, as pea protein may appear under various names and is now widespread in everyday products.
While not yet proven to directly cause allergies, its rapid rise in popularity—driven by wellness trends and plant-based diets—has outpaced safety research, prompting calls for clearer labeling and further investigation into its health impacts.
