Google Knowledge Panels That Are Expandable

Looks like Google is trying out the expandable featured snippets in the knowledge panel location. Mordy Oberstein spotted this and posted on Twitter videos and screen shots of it. I can replicate it.

If you search for [allergy peanut] on desktop or mobile Google search, you can see it yourself. Here is a screen shot:
