It’s perfectly logical.

Even if the company doesn’t intentionally have sesame in their product, what if one of their suppliers gives them sesame tainted flour or something?

If they don’t have a ‘May contain sesame’ warning then they might lose tons of money because they have to recall the product later.

The problem here is how lawsuit friendly America is.

The problem is legislators making reactionary laws and regulations that worsen the situation. There's a reason why the free market operates so much better than a centrally planned one; people are really bad at anticipating systemic emergent effects.

If the legislators did any research at all, they would not have made such a boneheaded change.
