    Brief

    The Food Standards Authority (FSA) is seeking a qualified supplier to conduct a comprehensive 12-month legume allergy research project focused on the UK market. This contract requires four key deliverables: (1) a systematic review of UK evidence on legume allergy prevalence, characteristics, and cross-reactivity between different legume types, including analysis of how food processing affects allergenicity; (2) a detailed mapping of legume ingredients currently used in UK food products, including which legumes are used, in which products, and at what quantities; (3) a feasibility assessment of using social media analytics to understand consumer perceptions and experiences related to legume allergies; and (4) a consolidated final report synthesizing all findings. The successful supplier should have expertise in evidence synthesis, food ingredient analysis, and preferably experience with social media data analytics for consumer insights. All work must be UK-focused and completed within the 12-month contract period.
