Reply to comment by pointlessone in Sesame will join the major food allergens list on January 1, FDA says | CNN by YouAreNotMeLiar

Yeah it hides in a lot of places. The bad part is - at least from the two people I know who are allergic to it - that the reactions people have can be very bad and life threatening to even very small amounts.

I'm just thinking about how many different names it's got depending on how it's prepared and how many things use sesame oil as a flavoring. From the sounds of other folks in the thread, it can be as extreme of reaction as peanuts, and I'd never even heard of it being an issue until now. Food allergies are wild.
