Food recalls have ben plentiful lately, and the latest is Lactaid brand milk.

Food allergies make cross-contamination of consumables a real problem — that’s what HP Hood, the company that makes Lactaid, is dealing with right now.

Lactaid Recalled Due to Potential Nut Exposure

According to Fox Business, the dairy giant has voluntarily recalled Lactaid, a lactose-free dairy milk, in 27 states due to potential exposure to almonds, according to the company and the Food and Drug Administration.

Nut allergies can be deadly for some people who struggle with them, so those folks count on food safety from major companies, like HP Hood, and expect them to be accurate in their ingredient descriptions, because it could be life-threatening if not.

It is to be noted that this is a voluntary recall — no illness has been reported — but HP Hood noticed the issue of possible cross-contamination and “wanted to get ahead of any possible situations,” a statement reads.

HP Hood issued the recall on Friday (Sept. 20) on 96-ounce containers of whole, 1%, 2%, fat-free and 2% calcium-enriched Lactaid Milk that were shipped to retailers and wholesalers from Sept. 5 through Sept. 18.

If you have any sort of nut allergy — or might be having any company coming over that might — make sure you check your Lactaid containers to make ensure they aren’t among the batch being recalled.

HP Hood found the issue of the possible contamination to Lactaid while performing maintenance on their machines, realizing that there could indeed be traces of almonds in their milk.
