> There do appear to be unintended consequences, but it's not clear whether things are "worse" now than before. It's worse if you have a sesame allergy and want to be able to eat as many products as before. Now there are fewer products that are safe for you to eat. I'm allergic to milk, but I can survive a trace amount if it ends up in something. The trial and error isn't fun, but I can eat the majority of things that "may contain milk". Having 90% of my relatively safe food options become toxic and dangerous overnight isn't a good trade off for "at least I know it's safe". All that would be necessary is for a "may contain" label. If that's there, people who are severely allergic can avoid those products.
