FDA tells people with peanut allergies not to eat cumin
If you've got severe peanut allergies, you may want to avoid more than just peanut products and candies processed in peanut plants.
The Food and Drug Administration has advised people allergic to peanuts to avoid cumin — multiple cumin shipments tested positive for peanuts and weren't labeled as such. According to an FDA alert, people who are highly allergic to peanuts could be at risk of "a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction" if they eat the contaminated cumin, The Associated Press reports.
