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.
