I want legumes to be listed on food packaging as an allergen. Very often legumes are used and are called something else. For example 'Gram Flour' is in fact Chickpeas. Manufacturers need to be more transparent. A legume allergy can be just as life threatening as a peanut allergy.

I believe people with a legume allergy should be able to look at the list of ingredients on food packaging and be able to EASILY see if the product contains something which may cause them to have a severe allergic reaction.
Manufacturers should not be able to change the name of ingredients.
Legumes include some of the following;
Lentils
Chickpeas
Green Peas
Pinto Beans
Mange-Tout
Tamarind
Butter Beans
And many more.....
