Tahini Is Made from Sesame. Check Before Serving It.
Food
Tahini gives sauces and dips a smooth, nutty flavor, and its main ingredient is sesame. If a guest has a sesame allergy, a spoonful in hummus or a dressing matters just as much as seeds scattered over a bun.
Sesame is one of the nine major allergens that must be declared on most FDA-regulated packaged foods in the United States. Read the ingredient list and allergen information on every product you use.
When cooking for someone with a food allergy, ask what they can safely eat before planning the menu. Check sauces, spice blends and garnishes, and use clean utensils and preparation areas to avoid cross-contact.
