Lactaid Milk, produced by HP Hood LLC, has been recalled in 27 states due to potential contamination with trace amounts of almonds not indicated on the product label. This recall is particularly critical for individuals with an almond allergy, as consumption could lead to serious or life-threatening reactions. The FDA issued the recall after routine inspections revealed the possible presence of almonds in the 96-ounce containers of Lactaid Milk.
These products were distributed to retailers and wholesalers from September 5 to September 18 of this year. Consumers across states including Alabama, Florida, and New York, among others, may have purchased this tainted product. Affected customers are encouraged to check for the code “51-4109 P2” and specific “best by” dates on their containers, available on the FDA's website.
Although no illnesses have been reported, consumers who bought the product can return it to the retailer for a full refund. For further assistance, HP Hood LLC has set up a consumer affairs hotline at 1-800-242-2423. More details can be found in official announcements from the FDA and respected news outlets like CBS News and FDA’s official site.
