This makes no sense. I can understand adding sesame to the label, but not actually adding more sesame to the products.
I think this reporter is confused.

No. The article is very clear why: if the products don't contain sesame, they are required to prevent cross contamination, which they can't do.
They can't simply label them as "may contain sesame", as it doesn't absolve them of needing to prevent cross contamination.
Their only reasonable choice is to just add sesame.
That’s insane.
The other reasonable choice is to not produce non-seasame items in ways that can potentially cross-cobtaminate with sesame items, or vice versa.
If a bakery is jumping through hoops just to make a batch of sesame buns daily, I think there's some misdirected effort.
You mayn’t claim that the thing contains sesame unless it does. The only option is to really add the real seed, and proclaim it.
