Per kind of product

On a Dutch label

A pack that says it is sesame free reads ‘sesamvrij’. The allergen in bold in the ingredient list is what to look for; ‘kan sporen bevatten’ means ‘may contain traces of’.

‘May contain’

2,135 products say ‘kan sporen van sesame bevatten’: sesame is not an ingredient, but the maker cannot rule out that some gets in, for instance because it is handled in the same factory. They are not in this list. Whether traces matter for you is something to ask your doctor or dietitian.
