This is a silly analogy, cholera or dysentery aren't safe for anyone. But the vast majority of people handle sesame just fine.
There is a big difference. Sometimes trace cross-contamination occurs, just how it goes.
It’s not silly. For the people who have no food allergies the label is meaningless, and for those who are allergic they have to treat it as if the allergen is definitely there. Trace contamination doesn’t tell you anything about the dose.
