Petition Add pulses (peas, chickpeas, lentils etc) to food label allergen requirements

I have found that many shops, businesses, food facilities are now trying to make a lot of their foods gluten free, which is great for Celiacs but can be a massive problem for people who are allergic to pulses, which are often used as substitutes for wheat. PULSES NEED TO BE HIGHLIGHTED.

More details

With pulses not being one of the 14 allergens, packaging DOES NOT highlight when pulses are an ingredient.

There are A LOT of people allergic to pulses and I would love to make a difference and see pulses added to the list of allergens that must be listed on food labels, to make it 15 allergens!
