Except what good does that do you if a pinch of "blended allergen" is added to almost everything?

It makes food products continue to be as cheap and available as they currently are for everyone who can tolerate a pinch of blended allergen.

Basically, it does about as much good as the Prop-65 labels do.

(Note that this sub-thread seems to be talking about the "what if we didn't [effectively] make it better for manufacturers to intentionally include the pinch of allergens, but instead just allowed them to label the possibility of trace cross-contamination?")

  • Which was my point. It adds a small hoop for manufacturers/bakers to jump through and people who have actual allergies are no better off--and arguably marginally worse off--than before.
