Sure, the "completely uncontrolled" amount present before - in the "may contain sesame" situation where it was not added as an ingredient - was a rounding error. That's why if you can buy the product now you also could do it before.
- bsder 2y agoIn the case where someone ran the sesame buns on third shift it very much wasn't a rounding error afterward. It's not just "adding sesame". It's also going to be things like "specifying the amount of time to run disposable product on the line to get below specified threshold". It's about consistency. Maintaining documentable 0.001% contamination is much, much harder than maintaining 0.1% contamination. There is no winning this battle via penalties. If you don't want sesame contamination, you have to make the economics worthwhile. Or simply ban sesame, but you're going to get major pushback on that.

If it is a rounding error compared to the level that you find acceptable now it was a rounding error compared to the level that you find acceptable now. If 1% plus epsilon is acceptable and you can buy it now, 0% plus epsilon was surely acceptable and you could buy it before.
