WASHINGTON — Cartons of almond milk are being recalled for containing milk — an allergen not listed on the label.
HP Hood LLC is voluntarily recalling more than 145,000 half-gallon cartons of refrigerated Vanilla Almond Breeze almond milk because of the possibility of them containing milk, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
The product is safe to drink unless the consumer has a milk allergy or sensitivity, according to an FDA news release.
There has been one report of an allergic reaction where medical treatment or hospitalization was not required, the release said.
The half-gallon cartons were shipped to retailers and wholesalers in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin, according to the FDA.
Probably processed with the same machinery.
Luckily,
Those units that were recalled represent less than .8 percent of half-gallon containers of the Vanilla Almond Breeze almond milk shipped by Hood in the last 12 months.
That seems a bit odd. Wouldn't they produce it in a separate factory or is this one of those factories leased out by different companies?
My guess is the packaging ( from giant containers to cartons ) is all done at some huge facility and the machine wasn't entirely purged before they switched to packaging the almond milk.
Nah, the same machinery can be used to crush nuts and squeeze cow utters.
not a matter of whether they can, it's about preventing cross-contamination
[spoilers]It was a joke.[/spoilers]
got straight whooshed honestly
I hope they squeeze the entire cow. I prefer bloodmilk with extra pulp tbh
Assuming your flagdog is right. That's probably because northern Europe has a very low occurrence rate of lactose intolerance (~10% according to Wikipedia). It's far more prominent in Asia and south america

I switched to Cashew, Hazelnut and Flax so whew :/
But also yikes
I wasn't aware of the specific difference between them, my bad. Learn something everyday I guess
One job.
One!
Sorry clicked reply to wrong post and can't delete cause on mobile. Yeah I always thought lactose intolerance was an allergy, the more you know.
Also why do people buy the vanilla almond milk? It's so sweet and packed with sugar, just get regular.
i do like a good glass of milk

Man, I must've lucked out on that one. I can't imagine not having milk, cheese or any other dairy products in my life.
You can also be allergic to milk protein, though
