We’ve published a new resource highlighting the link between asthma and child mortality in the UK. Our Asthma and Child Mortality Report brings together evidence showing how environmental factors, poor housing conditions, and health inequalities are putting children’s lives at risk. This important report aims to raise awareness, drive change, and support families and professionals in protecting the health and wellbeing of children living with asthma.

We’ve just launched a brand new factsheet on reactions to pea protein, a growing concern as this ingredient becomes more common in food products, particularly plant-based alternatives. This resource provides clear, expert-reviewed information on why some people may react to pea protein, what symptoms to look out for, and how to manage an allergy or suspected sensitivity.

We’ve updated our Reactions to Legumes factsheet to provide clearer guidance on allergies to legumes beyond peanuts and soya – including lentils, chickpeas, beans and lupin. The new version explains how cross-reactivity can vary between different legumes and highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and clear food labelling.
