Sesame Is Now a Major Food Allergen. Why Are So Many Companies Suddenly Adding It to Foods? by Amanda Gabriele.

Earlier this year, the FDA announced that sesame is now considered a major food allergen.

But in a twisted turn of events, rather than simply calling it out on products that originally contained sesame, companies are adding sesame flour to food items that were previously free of the allergen.
