Sesame

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Added US FDA decision to call for voluntary labeling of sesame as an ingredient when it was previously allowed to be covered by "spice" or "flavor." Now "spice (sesame)" or "flavor (sesame)." If an ingredient - say sesame seeds on a bagel - was already required listed as an ingredient. Not called out as an allergen. David notMD (talk) 03:02, 12 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

April 24, 2021: U.S. Congress passes and President signs FASTER Act https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/578 making sesame a food label required allergen. Label changes have until Jan 1, 2023 to take place. Other countries had already required sesame to be labeled. David notMD (talk) 11:00, 27 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
