The most frequent elicitators of food allergy in children are peanuts and tree nuts [ 17]. In France the prevalence of food allergy has been estimated to be 3.2% [18]. Furthermore, in this study, food was identified as the most common cause of anaphylaxis. Here the major identified food allergens besides peanuts and tree nuts were shellfish, wheat and lupine flour [18]. 

Cereal flour, buckwheat flour, soy flour, seafood allergens, pork, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, lupin, spinach, sarsaparilla root dust, cocoa, coffee dusts, green tea, egg protein, lactalbumin, milk powder, casein, honey, a-amylase, glucoamylase, pectinase, gluconase, pepsin, pectin, spices, carmine, flavorings...

This list was amended in December 2006 with the addition of mollusks and lupin, as Directive 2006/142/EC, to account for the opinion delivered by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) referring to the allergenicity of these foods and the prevalence of such food allergy in European member states. 

Appendix Ilia of Directive 2003/89/EC (EC, 2004), to the list of major allergens that by mandate have to be labeled on prepackaged foods (EC, 2006) in accordance with an opinion of the Scientific Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA, 2005). The legislative bodies in other countries, however, have not yet issued labeling regulations for lupin.
