• Review UK-relevant evidence on the prevalence and characteristics of legume allergy, and examine cross-reactivity between legumes, as well as provide information on how processing affects their allergenicity.
• Provide an overview of the use of legumes in UK food products (i.e. which legumes are being added to which foods and in what quantities).
