A Chicago mom and a D.C. mom weighed in with thoughts on how some companies are taking 'scary' shortcuts around the FDA's requirement on clear labeling of sesame on food products.
A Chicago mom of two, Beverly , told Fox News Digital in an interview that these workarounds to the new law are more than personal.
Beverly and her three-year-old son, who suffers from a severe sesame allergy, are shown here. "We're feeling hurt that companies are doing this just to keep their costs down," she said. This includes calling restaurants and food companies ahead of time, said the mom, to confirm that there are no traces of sesame in their products.
She also said,"So now we're finding foods that were traditionally safe for our family we can no longer have." "Meaning that accidental exposure, which is likely to happen, could very realistically trigger a reaction."The incorporation of sesame flour into bread and sesame oil in other recipes has"greatly limited" her family’s ability to eat out, said Beverly.
Beverly mentioned that Pirate’s Booty, once one of her son’s favorite snacks, is now labeled that it may contain sesame, too.
