Description
The sesame plant is grown in tropical regions worldwide, primarily for its edible seeds. These seeds have a long history as one of the oldest oilseed crops. Due to their remarkably high oil content and distinctive nutty taste, sesame seeds are widely used in various cuisines across the globe. However, it’s important to note that sesame is a significant allergen, capable of triggering potentially life-threatening food allergies. To mitigate the risk of unintentional exposure to sesame, it is crucial to meticulously examine both the production environment and food products for any traces of sesame. Cross-contamination can occur during the manufacturing process, making thorough inspections essential. In order to meet stringent food safety standards, the food industry must employ highly sensitive testing equipment to ensure compliance.
