This is the best summary I could come up with:
Federal food safety regulators said Tuesday that they have warned a top U.S. bakery to stop using labels that say its products contain potentially dangerous allergens when they don't.
The warning followed inspections late last year at Bimbo plants in Phoenix, Arizona, and Topeka, Kansas, that make Sara Lee and Brownberry breads.
Those consumers have to be constantly aware of foods that can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions, said Sung Poblete, FARE's chief executive.
Bimbo, a Mexico City-based food giant, bills its U.S. operations as the largest commercial baking company in the country.
In an email, company officials said they “take their role in protecting consumers with allergen sensitivities very seriously” and that they are corresponding with FDA to resolve the issue.
Some companies, including Bimbo, began listing allergens such as sesame on labels as a “precaution” in case of cross-contamination.
