New stir-fry dish cooks up a storm

Peanut shoots/sprouts have been introduced into the fresh vegetable section of supermarkets across the UK. Sainsbury's also sell a mixed stir-fry pack which contains peanut shoots. This may be a serious risk to individuals with peanut allergy.

Beware because:

• Peanut shoots are believed to be allergenic

• They are very similar in appearance to beansprouts and could easily be mistaken

• There may be an increased cross-contamination risk between similar products
