McDonald’s Burgers Will Soon Taste A Bit Different. Here’s What’s Changing – > “White onions will be added to patties while they sear on the grill.”

FML. As someone who is highly allergic to alliums, a basic McDonalds burger was one of few “safe” things I could eat if I needed to grab fast food. The risk of cross-contamination or a worker just forgetting to “hold the onions” is just too high now. #foodallergy https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/mcdonalds-burgers-are-getting-a-few-tweaks-heres-whats-changing/3120674/

Sesame seeds got added to the list of reportable allergens on food labels. Instead of instituting proper cleaning/disinfecting (credit to McDonald's for actually doing this) a long list of major bakeries and burger joints started ADDING sesame flour to their breads.

I have had butt pee for 8 days now after eating a bowl of curry. I think this is almost certainly my tomato allergy going nuclear on me. I did some searching, and apparently all my symptoms are … anaphylaxis? People act like it's just difficulty breathing, but that's apparently anaphylactic shock. Anaphylaxis has lots more forms. Including butt pee.

Which means I can never have normal pizza again.
