(ken) right now--- only 8 ingredients are required by law to be listed as an allergen on packaged food labels. but now, the f-d-a is taking a major step towards adding one more to that list-- sesame. the tiny seed is causing big concerns. sesame is sometimes listed as "natural flavors" or "spices." but the f-d-a wants to change that-- saying that although sesame allergies are rare, they can be deadly. according to the agency, sesame allergies affect about 300-thousand americans. while that's a tiny percentage of the u-s population -- the f-d-a says it's on par with allergies to soy and fish. the agency is still gathering information from nutritionists, allergy experts, and other while the giants have been missing the playoffs, the dodgers have been busy winning the division and going to the

world series. so larry baer and the front office have found a way to try and put an end to that.. convincing one of la's top execs to turn in the dodger blue and come back to the bay area. farhan zaidi...introduced this afternoon as the giants president of baseball operations. the 41-year- old is thought of as one of the best executives and brightest minds in the sport... m-i-t graduate... went to cal for his doctorate in economics. his first job in baseball was working with billy beane in the a's front office. after 10- years, he built a reputation as a superb analytics exec, philosophy on what it will take to get back into contention. "front office executives in other sports shared with me about his head coach and something he'd say to his players when he walked into the locker room after a win. the last thing he would say before he walked out was humble and victory and as a competitor and someone who's been involved in professional sports that really just sends chills down my spine and i'm gonna kinda paraphrase that and adopt that here and use the phrase humble in process."

we'll see who he decides to hire as general manager. a major talking points centered on what he's going to do with the roster... and the possibility of trading madison bumgarner... since he becomes a free agent next year and will court a lucrative contract. zaidi didnt' dive into talks onc players, but was asked if he was told if anyone on the roster is considered untouchable. you don't really wanna throw the baby out with the bath water by kinda over indexing on how the injuries affected the teams performance. we wanna have maximum flexibility as an organization and make sure we're not missing any opportunities to get this thing moving in the right direction so there's certainly hasn't been any talks about restrictions or limitations in terms of doing what we think is right."

now to a franchise going through it's own changes. the oakland raiders. derek carr and the silver and black...practicing in alameda this afternoon. in terms of draft position for next year, the team is in a good place, but when it comes to performance for this season, not so much.. 1-and-7...four-game losing streak.. today-- carr...asked where does the team go moving forward as they have the worst record in football. "hopefully 16-0, my goodness..you know it's hard man. you know i hate losing, i'm probably one of the most competitive people you'll ever meet. you've heard the style, i want to dunk on my nephews..i block my 2 year olds shot, i hate losing. i hate it with everything and i hate losing more than anything. and i work my tail off man to make sure that our city, our fans and our team our coaches and all that just enjoy winning. so man sitting here 1-7, it sucks..but nothing in me is gonna stop until i see the other side of it." finally tonight, we finally finally tonight, we could see some good-hearted drama at nba all-star weekend

reports came out that the nba all-star draft will be televised. you may remember that last season was the debut of a new format in which team captains were able to make their selections, playground style. steph curry and lebron james were last year's captains... and james took kevin durant with his first overall selection.. so this time around, we'll get to see the reactions to the entire process...from players getting picked and others being snubbed.
