That was voluntary, and the FDA now says it isn't sufficient.
- JohnFen 4y agoAs I understand it, this isn't some new interpretation from the FDA. It's always been that way. The only new thing here is adding "sesame" to the list of recognized allergens.
- beerandt 4y agoAdding an item to a list with much stricter rules absolutely changes the rules for those products and ones processed in the same facility. You can argue semantics, but the very premise of the article is that the change caused an outsized reaction in the industry. That rarely happens outside of regulatory compliance. It also goes to show how little regulators know sometimes about the very thing they claim expertise at regulating.
