And how does this farce of a rule help you child? Not at all!
You think that somehow this will make sesame-free bread. Nope, that's too expensive. They responded to the FDA's garbage by throwing a pinch of sesame in. Apparently some manufacturers didn't manage to throw enough in, or perhaps the detect threshold isn't sensitive enough. Throw that pinch of sesame into enough bread and it might not be detected even though it's there.
If there was an adequate market for sesame-free bread you would already see it. Nothing is stopping a manufacturer from opening a sesame-free bread factory--that is, nothing but a lack of demand.
Honestly, the rule has been helpful to my family. We now clearly know whether a product contains sesame or not. Previously, it wasn't always listed, or had vague potential cross-contamination warnings, which are hard to parse.
So, in my eyes, it's not a farce of a rule at all.

Dude, chill. You must not read labels looking for sesame when you buy bread.
There are manufacturers that make sesame-free bread. I buy it regularly from normal supermarkets in the normal bread section.
