'Pea allergy almost killed my boy. It's only right to add it to food labels'

A boy's near-fatal allergic reaction to pea protein in a hot cross bun has sparked calls for including peas as an allergen on food labels. Concerns are growing as allergens like peas are increasingly found in unsuspecting products, causing severe reactions in allergic individuals. Expanding the allergen list to include peas could prevent life-threatening situations and provide crucial information for those with pea allergies, whose conditions are sometimes not taken as seriously as other allergies.
