My nephew is very allergic to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. Last year my sister discovered all hot dogs and hamburger buns now contain sesame. Not "may contain", but listed in the ingredients. This year basically every brand of sliced bread also now contains sesame, making it very difficult to find bread items he can eat.

They're just adding it to their products, so they can just list it as an ingredient and not bother with worrying about cross contamination. And they aren't even bothering with telling anyone. Capitalism is going to kill us all.

"Which brings us back to Kellogg’s. Back in 2016, the company found a way around the added burden and expense of complying with the FSMA: they simply began adding trace amounts of peanut flour to their cracker products. Doing so allowed them to list peanuts as an ingredient of the product, freeing them from having to prevent cross-contact.

At the same time I have IBS combined with legume allergy, so all of the most common or affordable protein substitutes will completely destroy me, if not just straight up kill me if I go into anaphylactic shock. Beans, peas, soy, peanuts, chickpeas, lentils, all legumes.

You always listen, always try your hardest to understand, always try to make conversation, even if you don't understand fully, just so ppl can gush about their interests to you.

If you can’t tell what’s wrong with this picture, then chances are pretty high you’re also the guy who drew it.
