In the United States, sesame is a major allergen for packaged-food labeling, but packages produced during earlier transition periods may still be in circulation. Always read the current package.

What this result can—and cannot—do

It can highlight matching words in the exact text you paste. It cannot inspect the package, confirm that the text is complete, evaluate manufacturing cross-contact, or decide whether a food is safe for a particular person.

Always compare the result with the current physical package. When the label is incomplete or uncertain, contact the manufacturer and follow guidance from your qualified healthcare professional.

Tahini is made from sesame. The checker highlights it so you can compare the match with the current package.

What if the label only says spices or flavoring?

A text checker cannot resolve an unspecified ingredient. Contact the manufacturer when the label does not answer your question.
