Why This Riad’s Oliva to Go Recall Matters

Sesame can cause reactions ranging from mild hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Under the FASTER Act, sesame became the ninth major U.S. food allergen in 2023, making proper labeling a legal requirement. Oliva LLC has corrected its packaging, but some mislabeled lots reached retailers before the update.
