> How did we end up in a place where the companies aren't putting the cross-contamination ingredients

Isn't it because it's not an explicit ingredient but a risk of trace contamination? I'm not sure that an ingredients list with a bunch of "might also contain ____" items at the end.

The warning is pretty easy to spot when it's supplied.

The change in the law makes that insufficient to eliminate the liability. It isn't a matter of labeling but the cost of eliminating any possibility of cross contamination.

    Right, I'm not saying it absolves the company, just that putting it in the ingredients list isn't helpful or honest, either.

    New labeling law doesn't fix anything here.

      Companies can’t just put it in the ingredients list, that would also be illegal. They need to actually add it to the product.
