Seems odd. Trader Joe's still sells peanuts. McDonalds still uses sesame seeds on Big Mac buns. It's not as if foods stop being sold when they're classified as potential allergens.
- phnofive 4y agoYes, but a good excuse to dump them where unnecessary.
- noduerme 4y agoSure. They took away the free peanuts and blamed it on the bubble boy in 7A.
- bredren 4y agoI’m guessing they will bring back sesame seed buns. People are habitual, and sesame seed buns are well marketed. Maybe there’s some manufacturing location sesame buns can be done alongside other sesame products that is more efficient.
- crazygringo 4y agoShrinkflation? Maybe instead of making portions sneakily smaller you just get rid of the extras. Watch out, it'll be the sprinkles on cupcakes next...
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoYeah, but wasn't McDonalds the company that sold their fries to Hindus and assured them they were vegetarian even while frying them in beef tallow? McDonalds never struck me as a company that cares very much.
- JoeAltmaier 4y agoThat was dishonest. Fortunately, it probably didn't matter at all? Because there's not an evil spirit that condemns folks who eat beef products even by accident.
- noduerme 4y agoEvil spirits can operate sort of like pychosomatic illnesses though, right? If someone tells you that you just ate a parasite-infested human brain, are you not going to start freaking the fuck out every time you see a sun spot or have a weird dream? Feeding X to someone who worships X without their consent or knowledge is basically dooming them to a lifetime of fear.
- JoeAltmaier 4y agoOnly if some sadist tells them
- elil17 4y agoNot necessarily an allergy thing - could be cost out, supply chain issues, or a new focus group that tells them that consumers don't actually like sesame seeds.
