I have a friend who is allergic to sesame, this law was really frustrating for her. The brands who purposely added sesame to comply with the law she couldn't eat anymore, the brands that just added the label she also couldn't eat because she couldn't tell the difference between the two. Before the law if sesame wasn't listed it meant it was at worst trace amounts and if it was listed it was off limits.
She isn't "immediately dies on contact" allergic so to solve this problem we had a "loaf party" where we got one of every brand of bread in the grocery store, she would get to try all of them and each person goes home with the rest of a loaf. It was fun all things considered but silly that it was necessary.
So yeah, I have no idea why the fda did this, it seems worse for everyone involved.
