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.
How is it not honest? It's not helpful, but it seems perfectly honest (assuming the product actually contains the ingredients listed.)
If I see sesame in an ingredients list, and I discover that really means “we don’t deep clean the oven conveyer after cooking sesame products”, I think I’d feel at least a little tricked.
That's not what it means in this case. In this case, it means that "we intentionally added some otherwise-not-needed sesame to the product, in order to comply with this law and the truth-in-labeling laws."
