> It’s not that they’ve added sesame where there was none before, it’s that they’re having to declare that sesame might be there

They added it where there was none before. People with allergies to sesame were eating bread at Olive Garden and Chick-Fil-A just fine before this legislation and now they can't.

> Though it's weird that the FDA don't just allow a 'may contain traces' warning, many countries do

The FDA always allowed that. But by naming it a major allergen the "Contain" statement becomes mandatory, and the "May Contain" statement doesn't satisfy that.
