HP Hood LLC is recalling 96-ounce containers of Lactaid Milk because the product may contain trace amounts of almond, which is not listed on the label.
People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to almonds may run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products, according to an announcement by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The product was shopped to retailers and wholesalers in Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
The recall containers have the code 51-4109 P2 and the best-by dates listed in the chart in this page from the FDA website.
The code and best-by date can be found in the center-top area of the container, as pictured in the image above.
The issue was discovered as a result of routine maintenance programs which revealed the potential for trace amounts of almond, according to HP Hood, which is headquartered in Massachusetts.
Consumers who purchased the product may return it to the retail location where the purchase was made for a full refund or exchange, or call Hood Consumer Affairs at 800-242-2423 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time.
