Hello everyone,

as you may know in response to the new law requiring sesame listed as a major food allergen, certain bread manufacturers have begun adding sesame flour to otherwise plain bread - this is their version of malicious compliance to get around any perceived cross-contamination regulatory standards.

The result is that many bakeries/manufacturers have started adding sesame flour to bread. This includes Wendys, Olive Garden, wonderbread, Aunt millies, and so many more.

Has anyone here with a (diagnosed) sesame allergy had issues starting this year? Does sesame flour contain much sesame protein? I've been very careful so far this year.

So far I've seen problems in some hot dog buns, hamburger buns, white breads. Does anyone know if this extends to french breads, pita breads, or pizza doughs.

I have had a sesame allergy my whole live, and it has been confirmed with several tests over the years.
