FDA Recommends Food Manufacturers List Sesame On Food Labels

Description

The US Food and Drug Administration is recommending that food manufacturers list sesame as an ingredient on labels. According to CNN, listing the ingredient would be voluntary. The move is designed to help people who are allergic to sesame identify foods that may contain the seed. Many Americans are allergic to sesame, and the labels would help them quickly identify foods containing sesame. Under current FDA regulations, sesame must be declared on a label if whole seeds are used as an ingredient. Labeling, however, is not required when sesame is used as a flavor or in a spice blend.

16 US States Break Heartbreaking Record For COVID-19 Hospitalizations

16 states across the US broke a grim record on Friday, reporting their highest total of people hospitalized for COVID-19 since the pandemic began. Business Insider reports that since last fall, cases of COVID-19 have surged nationwide, particularly following the end of the holiday season. Alabama, Arkansas, Maryland, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia were hit hardest. Record hospitalizations were also seen this week in Arizona, California, Delaware, and Maine. The US Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization for two COVID-19 vaccines at the end of 2020. However, a slow rollout means it will be many months before all who want a vaccination are immunized.

Banking Association Asks For Tellers To Be Deemed 'Essential Workers'

It's generally thought that once the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available, front-line healthcare workers and nursing home residents will be first in line. But according to Gizmodo, bank tellers may get to skip the line--past them, and past the over-65's and those with underlying conditions. The industry trade group American Bankers Association has asked federal health authorities to designate consumer-facing bank employees as 'essential workers.' Such a designation would give them vaccine prioritization once the Federal Food and Drug Administration grants emergency-use authorization. To date, the U.S. has seen nearly 15 million COVID-19 cases and 280,000 deaths--the most in the world. The CDC predicts 19,500 new deaths will be reported during the week of Christmas, and that another 300,000 COVID-19 cases will be added in December.
