The parent company of Lactaid issued a voluntary recall of lactose-free dairy milk after a possible almond allergen was discovered. HP Hood LLC, which sells lactose-free dairy products, said in the recall announcement posted on Friday by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the five SKUs of 96-ounce containers “may contain trace amounts of almond, which is not listed on the label.” On the FDA’s website it says that the law requires that food labels “identify the food source of all major food allergens used to make the food.” This includes the various types of tree nuts such as almonds, pecans, and walnuts. Tree nut allergies are one of the most common food allergies. Symptoms from a tree nut allergy can range from mild to life-threatening, the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology said. “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,” the recall alert said.
