FDA declares sesame seed a 'major allergen'

Major food brands are adding sesame to items in ‘shortcut’ after FDA declares the seed a ‘major allergen’

The nearly two-year wait allowed food brands and manufacturers the time to comply with the new law. 

Instead of spending their 2 year grace period ensuring their production lines are free of sesame cross-contamination, some big suppliers just put sesame in everything, added it to the label, and called it a day.

The three mentioned in the article are: Olive Garden, Wendy's, and Chick-fil-A. Sesame flour has been added to the bread sticks, and the buns. So if you have food allergies, please be aware of the latest dick move by corporations.

Nothing worse than cooking when tired, an hour or two late, hungry and distracted. Managing everything till the last minute and then! Fucking the finished food up by the tiniest *possible* cross contamination. You’re not even sure, but it’s a possibility!

Anyway, always cover your gluten free food when it’s done. At the very least don’t break dry spaghetti noodles right next to your celiac safe food. Made by your own hands, with love. Ugh, such a goddamn amateur mistake. I almost cried, for real. It could have been perfectly safe still! But.

I’m genuinely sad about it even now.

Hey yall as a tattooist let me tell you, (worked type hard to get successfully licensed and learn about cross contamination if this counts for something + years and years of science comm knowledge and editorship of that kind of gives you a little context on how bad this virus has been) please don’t get tattooed in the middle of a pandemic. I say this after a family friend asked me and had me worried. Cross-contamination is the bridge point between viruses and people, if you don’t understand the variables of cross-contamination youre doing your own self a disservice.

If anything, this is the best time to find some courses on cross contamination compatible with your learning and share the info with others. This is what we’re taught as tattooist in order to pass the licensing test and a lot of what you learn on here is applicable during a pandemic with addition of social distance among a few other things to consider.

I strongly discourage getting any ink done except after the numbers have subsided & theyve cleared us like they've recently done in china due to the low numbers, go with the statistics not what your friend is telling you, and statistics say wait it out. So many things can go wrong in a pandemic during the process of tattoo healing that make this not worth the trouble; from getting the tattoo and all the possible ways you and the artist can jeopardize each other and communities to the very healing process and considering how the freshly tattoo spot since it’s now a giant healing scab will be even more vulnerable - to the all cross contamination that can occur while either of yall in transit.

I’ve seen a lot of artists I looked up to still at it that I just don’t understand with all the deaths, I can’t put money over health like that.  It’s another reason I’m unemployed right now. I know how lethal this shit is on scientific level and it will kill either you or someone close to you if you’re not careful and it really dont care if you believe any of this or not.

You may not care about these variables but the variables dont care whether you believe in em or not and can make you another casualty in this shit so Idk just wait it out please. We may never get life how we used to have, but at least we can do our part to survive and help others too who might not be as informed.

In the meantime, you could use this as time to design a really cool piece!

For info on cross-contamination check out the CDC website’s recommendations on body art here.

I feel so upset right now.

I’m in the process of being diagnosed for Celiac Disease - I mean, I have been symptomatic for a month now and my blood tests were 15x the amount that they should’ve been, so it leaves little room for error at this point. 

I went GF as soon as my blood tests came back, because I was in so much pain and could hardly get through the day. My GI doctor still want to the endoscopy for a formal diagnosis, but because of this stupid COVID, it was scheduled almost 3 months out. My doctor told me I had to eat gluten at least once a week in order to show damage in my small intestine. Fun. This week, I have felt like I’m dying as a result. I honestly just think I’m going to eat gluten every other week.

Some days with this are better than others. Some days I feel incredibly optimistic, especially when I find GF food that I actually enjoy and doesn’t taste overall horrible. I am learning to cook for myself now, slowly, but surely. But then on days like today, I am reminded that no one really understands this disease and I feel incredibly alone. I had to explain to a friend recently about cross contamination at restaurants and how I don’t feel comfortable eating out anymore, and she said I could still eat there - even though I KNOW the products she uses are not certified gluten free. Talking about cross-contamination is like speaking a foreign language, and that’s what kills me because it’s what makes you sick.

When I say I don’t feel comfortable with my parents making me food on the holidays and I’d prefer to make my own, I get upset. They insist without really understanding, because I’m the first and only person in the family with CD. And I realized that I’m never going to be able to eat my favorite Christmas cookies again. :(
