Bimbo Bakeries USA faces FDA warning for misbranding products as containing sesame or tree nuts not present.

Bimbo Bakeries USA, maker of brands like Sara Lee and Entenmann's, is ignoring an FDA warning that its products are "misbranded" for listing sesame or tree nuts that aren't present. The company defends its labeling as protective for sesame-allergic consumers, creating uniform labels to prevent accidental consumption. The FDA can take enforcement actions, but Bimbo's stance raises concerns for the 1.6 million Americans with sesame allergies.
