05 Nov 2019 --- Research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a US medical research agency, has revealed that sesame allergy is becoming increasingly common among children. The NIH scientists also found that sesame antibody testing — an all-round controversial topic — accurately predicts whether a child with a food allergy is allergic to sesame. As concerns rise, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a request for epidemiological data to find out whether regulatory action requiring sesame to be labeled as an allergen on packaged foods will be necessary in the future.
