據美國食品安全新聞網消息，4月14日美國公共廉政中心（CPI）發布調查報告指出，羽扇豆會導致過敏反應，然而食品標簽缺少警告標識。
報道稱，由于花生屬于美國規定的必須強制標注的致敏原，因此食品企業使用羽扇豆作為花生的替代品。
然而根據相關規定，羽扇豆屬于“一般認為安全”的物質，無需強制標注在過敏原標簽中。
部分原文報道如下：
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.
