Sesame is being newly added to some foods. The FDA says it doesn't violate a allergy law
Food manufacturers who deliberately add sesame to products and include the ingredient on labels are not violating a new federal food allergy law, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday. The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a food safety advocacy group, had petitioned the FDA to halt an unintended consequence of the January law — more companies adding sesame to foods that didn’t have it before. More than 1.6 million people in the U.S. are allergic to sesame, food allergy experts say.
