The Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education and Research Act requires food companies that use sesame to label the ingredient on the packaging.
However, some consumers are upset with how companies are handling the new law.
You may not realize this, but a lot of foods contain sesame -- like many breads, cereals, chips and a lot more. Perez said the suppliers of some companies are adding sesame to products that didn't previously contain sesame. She pointed out that some of Chick-Fil-A's buns now contain sesame. Chick-Fil-A told its customers "with this industrywide change, our bread suppliers are unable to prevent cross-contact of sesame due to shared production lines and have therefore reformulated to add a small amount of sesame flour to our white bun and multigrain brioche bun.
Carroll has been at the forefront of this issue and fought for federal legislation to protect people who are allergic to sesame, like his daughter Brooke.Jason Linde with the Food Allergy Research"What they're basically saying is, we're not going to clean the line after the sesame products are run. Instead, we're just going to add sesame flour in every single loaf of bread we make, so we don't have to clean the lines," he said.
